In reply to your earlier question.
I grew up in a totally secular household. My parents were neither pro or anti-religion.
Never went to church, was never sexually assaulted by a priest.
My childhood was completely free of religion.
My disrespect for Religion is purely intellectual.
And just because someone is a philosopher doesn't mean they are automatically right.
You can only judge religion by peoples actions. It is a purely human thing, it is not
something in and of itself. Geography on the other hand is, take away people
and geography will still exist.
You are right in one respect though, Religion as a major factor in human
development does deserve serious study and understanding.
Just like War.
That doesn't mean I need to accord it some sort of reverence or think it's a good thing.
"If you are so dismissive of faith, why do you label yourself an atheist and hang around a religion section of an atheist forum?"
Is this a serious question?

If you're not supposed to ride faster than your guardian angel can fly then mine had better get a bloody SR-71.
