It is time for the human race to grow up, to put away the fairies and goddies, and all the paraphernalia of faith. It is time to replace faith and religion with reason and science, worldwide. To understand why, simply look at the daily newsblogs, or even the main stream media. The most pernicious and persistent problems in our world all have at least in part, religion as cause.
The image of the World Trade Center towers collapsing, to the tune of "Allahu Akbar" should be sufficient to show this; if not, an Internet review of the words and phrases, "pedophile priest", "creationism versus evolution", and "circumcision" will settle the matter. Religion has shown what it is good for: ignorance, barbaric warfare, abuse of women and children, and contradiction of everything good in human nature.
Religion, by which I mean faith-based beliefs that guide people, has even infected science. Some degreed scientists have even tried to forge a compromise with religion, saying that faith and rationalism can coexist and even cooperate in helping humanity.
Nothing could be further from the truth. The history of religion, and in particular of its more conservative sects, has shown that people of faith mistrust rationalim and especially the natural sciences: and well they should, for religion and science are essentially opposed.
