Come now. You've never met anyone in the digital sandbox who thought that eradicating religion will pave the way for scientific progress unrestricted by superstition and lead to a utopia of peace, prosperity, health, freethinking and rationality? It sounds like the norm among village atheists rather than the exception.
Come now. You think I'd bother to lie to you about something like that?

Recently someone averred that if there were no religion, the Ukraine would be at peace.
Yikes, I don't see how that would be the case. Putin isn't motivated by religious extremism, though he has the backing of the church, I don't think they've been inciting him.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
