How much in magic book, that you've read, do you think might have been about politics and sheeple, rather than something a god said to a man in a cave?
Logically speaking, ofc.
There are other items, if you'd prefer not to explore that one...such as the notion implicit in your comments above that atheists or agnostics are not, themelves, people with great convictions. That seems to be a human trait, not an ingroup-outgroup thing. The sets of convictions are different, but the commitment, not so much. Or..perhaps, whether or not you'd truly wish to see the end of religious dictatorship - or that the problem is the the Right Dictatorship has not presented itself. Gods dictatorship, as expressed in the torture porn rag you call a user manual that requires strict obediance. Your notion that contemporary reformed religions are in any true or even credible sense a "return" to the "original" messages? Is that true of neo-paganism, for example..or do you allow that historic neopagans were a kindof rowdy lot keen on blood..despite the current manifestation being a bunch of hippys?
I think you're probably doing being human better than the first muslims, but you're not doing islam better. Likewise, odin would be pissed at the folks using his name today - and not for good or wholesome reasons as you or I might see them.
