Religious moderates enable religious extremists

[DLJ]

I think I'm going to have to agree with SoC here.

There has been a huge contribution.

Largely detrimental but nonetheless, huge.

But we know, Esquilax that you meant to say 'positive' contribution.

Indeed, there have been those too... music, poetry, literature... can't and won't argue with that.

I suspect, though, that the people producing the music, poetry and even art and architecture would have produced wonderous works also if their patrons had been irreligious. We will never know.
