A world where people believe in Gods, worship them, value the life they spend with them after they die more than the one the live and share with the rest of us, and it not effect Government, Science or the independent social affairs of those that think they're full of shit?
Call me a pessimist, but followers of ancient religious texts and secular free thinking societies seem like oil and water. I'd be pleased as punch to see them all go to an island and wipe each other out in the name of their respective Gods. The last nut standing could declare their island in the name of whatever sky-daddy they want and live out the rest of their self-declared insignificant earthly life there away from everyone else. It sounds Win/Win to me, and it also seems like the only way your dream could be actualized.
In most cases, I'd agree. However, writer Chris Hedges is a Presbyterian who is exposing the Dominionist movement.
