Is there anything new under the sun to say about religion?

I think the most important battles happen inside. Forum wide battles matter little to the individual moments in a theist or atheist's life. Though they can serve as stepping stones, the person stepping has to choose which river to cross. I think there's a myth that religious belief is just a wall that, if torn down, brick at a time, will reveal an atheist. I think that may be the path for many. It's also the path for many that they are building their own structures out of the raw material of their lives. For some, this is away from gods. For some, this is away from spooks and pseudoscience. For some, this is towards new gods. And for many, this is towards a deeper love of the god they've already found. It's not a tug of war. It's a race with all people headed different directions. Maybe that's why the finish line is so hard to find.
