Well sure it's important when deconverting from religion actually means introducing people to reality. Like the fact that Earth is round sphere and not flat slab of material with Sheol underneath it for dead souls and with firmament above it where upper waters reside and sometimes drip trough the holes in it that are stars, which by the way Bible preaches.

And then the rest of the science like the fact of gravity, evolution and even that men landed on the Moon. I mean that for real.
For now this forum is almost like an oasis, but I would like whole world to turn to science and we could move on to more interesting startreky stuff, to open that universe and expand our knowledge even more because sometimes I feel like the bus has already arrived and we're waiting for people to get in.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
