So what you're inferring is that the world would be a better place if none of us believed in God? You think that all of the wars would go away? All the crime would magically stop? Everybody would finally get along and we could live in unity under one governmental direction?
As far as holding back science goes, science is nearly as much of a dive as religion is considering no one actually understands how gravity works and even our theories/laws have holes in them. All that really means is that everything we have found so far is not without exception and not absolute.
Personally I don't subscribe to a religion. I do consider myself agnostic though, based on the premise that there is something extraordinary about human anatomy and the missing link we're looking for will question our very existence. We just Do. Not. Know. And I really wish that people who support gay rights or modern era things like that would see the equality in also supporting people that choose to believe in a religion. |
Uuuuhhhh....what?
First. Yes, we do know how gravity works...The valley between religion and science is huge. The easiest way I know of to describe the difference between the two is this.
Religion is about giving answers, Science is about asking questions.
For the second bold part. Being for equallity doesn't mean that everyone is to be protected from criticism. Espeically when you often find people trying to use religion as the basis for legal systems. It's hard to make the case for "Don't hassle me about my religion! Oh, but my religous doctorine should be the law of the land."

Oh. You know how gravity works? Might want to explain that to NASA.
