While on the surface you might see it as a "step in the right direction", it is actually a solid step towards atheism. I've come to the realisation that I have no right to discuss history, biology, geology and physics like I know what I'm saying. The only thing any of us here can discuss in confidence is philosophy because all we need is a working mind. With that being said, I can now only refute religion by first properly understanding what the theist is saying philosophically/theologically.
Nothing has really changed in the greater scheme of things I'm afraid.

The Jewish aren't exactly the people you want to be referring to. They will confidently sit down with you and show you why Jesus wasn't a godman.
