A.D Church is an insult to human dignity.  Without it, you’d have good people doing good things. But good people will not do knowing evil, their whole like is religion.

If #children were taught to question and think through their #belief, instead of being taught the superior virtue of faith without question, it is a good bet that there would be no suicide bombers. Suicide bombers do what they do because they really believe what they were taught in their religious schools: that duty to #God [all kinds of 'Gods' of religions] exceeds all other priorities, and that martyrdom in his service will be rewarded in the gardens of Paradise.

The great unmentionable evil at the center of our culture is monotheism. From a barbaric Bronze Age text known as the Old Testament, three anti-human religions have evolved ---#Judaism, #Christianity, and #Islam.  These are sky-god religions. They are, literally, patriarchal—God is the Omnipotent Father—hence the loathing of #women for 2,000 years in those countries afflicted by the sky-god and his earthly male delegates. — GORE VIDAL

Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.

Science is but one form of rationalism, while religion is the most common form of superstition. When one person suffers from a delusion, it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion it is called Religion. Areas where there is a lack of data, or a lack of understanding, are automatically assumed to belong, by default, to God. If you don't understand how something works, never mind: just give up and say God did it. It is an essential part of the scientific enterprise to admit ignorance, even to exult in ignorance as a challenge to future conquests.
