The fallasy is that religion is a source of morals rather than a retardant to morals and that coming together is always a good thing.
Mobs are a group of people, thats how I see some religions, a mob. I'm thinking of the westboro whatever church here.

Secular Jews seem to be able to enjoy the cultural trappings without the faith but i'm not sure if this model would be a good fit for others.
I know the trappings of christianity both annoy me and make me uncomfotable.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
