Billions of people through the whole history of mankind

Hey, Rocky, watch me pull the correct religion out of my hat... this time for sure.

Starts with a talking snake

Also, written by god.

Bill Maher - One of the complaints

Religion is the real meanie.

Bill Maher - Faith means

I saw this episode. Bill paused after saying this and there was a nervous 1/2 second before the audience applauded it. I think we've been too conditioned to respect religious faith. We shouldn't respect it.

Religion is the ultimate slavery

Create a problem and then sell the solution to it- with no guarantees and no way to test the effectiveness of your product. Sounds like an amazing (and yet dishonest) business plan to me.

Religion: Daughter of hope and fear

I think it's normal to be somewhat afraid of the big, unanswerable questions. Why does anything exist? Do we cease to exist after we die? What's the purpose of all this? What's the purpose of anything? However troubling these questions can be, there's no point in accepting made up answers that can't be justified by any evidence.

Secular Parenting

All people should try to use reason and evidence to form their values. I'm not 100% sure that everyone is capable of it, but I'm guessing more would be if they didn't experience religious indoctrination in their youth.
