I think of it more as a political lie since I see governments using religions as tools for social manipulation and control. They are political scapegoats and pawns that you and I pay for in our taxes thanks to their tax exempt status.
That is how governments lend credibility to religions and in doing so push their Noble Lie into your pocket.
I bet you do not see yourself as putting your coin into that church basket eh. You do indirectly.

Only if they care about the money they are paying to have religious fools believing in fantasy, miracles and magic, dipping into their tax pocket.
Most atheists, being better educated in religion than believers will probably skip the clip on the Noble Lie as they will know what it is. I see that you, in your ignorance, do not.
Thanks for ignoring the issues in the O P though.

I think that even Martin Luther hated the Muslims and knew that the reproduction race was on and it was all a matter of demographics as to who would win out between Islam and Christianity.
Hence his barbaric-------
