Atheist Evangelism

[GrandizerII]

Some modern liberal brands of Christianity, for example.

Also, false information is not exclusive to religion, it can occur in science and secular philosophy also. Secular ideologies can also contain some immoral/unethical statements/implications. What do you mean by impeding progress when we're doing quite well in terms of science and technology, and a lot of religious folks are contributing to the advancements in science and technology?

I can't think of a modern brand of liberal Christianity that doesn't have incoreect or immoral elements.  And their existence tends to lend credence to the worse versions.  Which specific brand were you thinking of?

Doesn't matter. Could be several things. Let's go with universalism, or with some very liberal brand of Christianity that is pro-same sex marriage or pro-trans rights. Doesn't even have to be Christianity. Could be some mystical brand of Islam, or some form of Buddhism or Jainism.

Incorrect beliefs are omnipresent, you no doubt hold to incorrect beliefs. And they don't translate to dangerous or harmful. That's your antitheistic bias letting you think like that.

As for impede progress, think of all the money and education and time and talent wasted on religion that could be spent elsewhere.  Think of the harm caused by the teachings of religion on evolution, gays, marriage, women, contraception, law, theocracy, sacred land and sites, the environment etc.  Think how advanced we would be if all those intelligent priets had been scientists or historians or engineers or poets rather than preachers.  Etc.

How would the world be worse if everyone just lost their religious belief?

If your issue is with particular religions, that's one thing. But if your beef is with religion in principle, that's another thing. Here, you seem to be arguing the former, but the same could be said about particular secular ideologies as well. Watch out for confirmation bias.

Also, religion isn't stopping intelligent priests from being scientists or scholars or engineers or poets if they wanted to. If anything, history appears to show otherwise.

Also, liberal Christianity doesn't imply liberal racism. What a dumb thing to say (or agree with).
