This is one of the reasons I like this place. I post something, some folks agree, some tear it apart. I give it some thought and usually agree with most of the criticisms.
My assertion was that mostly fundamentalists attribute all of their moral guidance to their religion.
Of course, some replied that religion was the problem, fundie or liberal. I actually agree. The very fact that writings in the "holy book" can inspire people to kill other people because "god says so" proves that the holy book did not come from any deity.
So, sure, all religion is suspect. But I think it's the religions that have a BOOK, that teach that the book is holy and perfect and unchanging, that are really dangerous.
