Less anger towards religion

[Anomalocaris]

Both religion and physical phenomenon such as gravity exist as result of deep seated mechanisms.     Religion is anartifact of underlying cognitive mechanism, and gravity is a fundamental attribute of the physical universe.   Hating religion is like hating the human gene pool, much as hating gravity is like hating the universe.     Rather than hating either, one could much more productively focus on circumscribing the ability of  either to cause damage to the human enterprise too readily, sort of like putting guard rails and danger signs around places where the unwary could accidentally succumb to gravity, or bullshit signs around places where the unwary can succumb to the lure of religion.

to further extend the analogy, what I despise is not gravity, nor the phenomenon of religion,  but those people who gleefully rip out guard rails and danger signs from where the unwary could easily succumb to gravity, and the people who gleefully strive to rip down bullshit signs around religion.
