The Faith Of Religion Is Belief On

It Is Taboo In Our Society To Criticize A Persons Religious Faith... These Taboos Are Offensive, Deeply Unreasonable, But Worse Than That, They Are Getting People Killed. This Is Really My Concern. My Concern Is That Our Religions, The Diversity Of Our Religious Doctrines, Is Going To Get Us Killed. I'm Worried That Our Religious Discourse- Our Religious Beliefs Are Ultimately Incompatible With Civilization.

It Was Even Possible For The Most Venerated Patriarchs Of The Church, Like St. Augustine And St. Thomas Aquinas, To Conclude That Heretics Should Be Tortured (augustine) Or Killed (aquinas).

A Kernel Of Truth Lurks At The Heart Of Religion, Because Spiritual Experience, Ethical Behavior, And Strong Communities Are Essential For Human Happiness. And Yet Our Religious Traditions Are Intellectually Defunct And Politically Ruinous. While Spiritual Experience Is Clearly A Natural Propensity Of The Human Mind, We Need Not Believe Anything On Insufficient Evidence To Actualize It.

Atheism Is Nothing More Than The Noises Reasonable People Make When In The Presence Of Religious Dogma.
