Is religion still relevant in modern society?

In defense of Player1x3, and of people of faith, I think there is one thing terribly worrisome and broken with your position. For one, you exact that believers not impose their beliefs or frame of mind on others, but you are doing the exact thing you ask to stop. See bolded as an example. If you become the very thing you ran away from, it's a terrible thing for others to fear, as you can easily turn into a wolf in sheeps clothing. You will devour others who hurt you, and claim innocence. Be careful, and take this as an honest warning. Also know that it's something I'm quite firm on in terms of my judgement on the attitude you're exhibiting. I know we were doing good, but I had to say that.

On another note, as for the altruism post, I never was disappointed, and even then, it would not be of my business either way. I just wanted to mention that, after this thread, it became much easier for me to believe you, and that you were being genuine. If you consider that ignorant, pardon me. I'm working on baby steps.

Just so you know, I don't go on 'crusades' against religion unless they're doing something detrimental to myself, my friends, or to society (such as the aforementioned interference in science.)  Generally speaking, as long as religious people keep it to themselves or are respectful, I get along with them just fine.  Like I've said a dozen times or so, I only 'push' my beliefs on religion when you have stuff like Westboro Baptist church protesting soldiers, or Fox news claiming Gay Marriage is an affront to traditional marriage.  Get where I'm going here?
