And then let me clarify a point before I seem to dogmatic or militant: there are plenty of good things that have come from religions, beliefs in gods, and (w)holy texts, but I think it is time we move on, and I think the world can move on. It make take a few generations for the whole process, and a belief in the supernatural will never die off in my opinion, but it is time to rid ourselves of the things that have made our history bloody and horrid.
This is my credo, this is another reason why I am an atheist.
