The difference between "outdated science books" and the Bible is that the Bible contains the word of God and the teachings of Jesus Christ.  So, while I'm not willing to completely disagree with your assessment (because I am not a religious person), I wouldn't be so quick to write off the book that billions of people hold as sacred and irreplaceable in their hearts.

Milllions of people hold the Twilight series close to their hearts and that promotes stalking, abuse, and misogyny.  A Million people can still be wrong. 

Again, I refer to my "if you can prove god exists, then I'll back off" clause.  As long as God is an 'idea' with no tangible evidence supporting his, her, or its presence, then it should be treated as any other outdated or ill-supported theory is: it should be dropped. 

I understand your clause, and frankly I agree with you.  My point, though, is that more than half of the earth's population DOES believe in God and his teachings, and so I wouldn't be so presumptuous as to say their beliefs are any more or less valid than my own. We may be wrong, they may be wrong. It's impossible to know.
