There's this new video about abortion, but what is particularly interesting about it is that through a series of montages it is basically the anatomy of the religious mind and the bullshit in its core. How it clashes with itself. First, they say how life begins with conception and they even count every fertilized egg as a human being, how every zygote counts even if it was conceived by rape or incest, and how they will help women who want to abort for the reasons of poverty... And then we see very poor women who can not afford the kids they gave birth to and the Christian leaders cursing the very idea of welfare to these women, even protesting when the food is given to the immigrant babies at the border, and how they don't want to do anything to prevent the school shootings.
And it all comes from the religious mind not being driven by rationalism but by emotions and delusion.

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"
