Religion is an angst ridden teenager. Religion is a lot like countries. Historically, Jews are a relaxed ethnocultural group. We don't see what very early Judaism was like, but the crusades and the inquisition speak to what early Christianity was like. And they were fighting Muslims, who as a young world tradition are part of a relatively recent surge toward radical Islam.
America gets a lot of shit for being "imperialistic,"
yet the historical nature of colonial England as a dominant world power is largely lost on contemporary critics.
Religion, I'm sad to say, is far from over. Religious people don't understand why the secular movement exists, let alone why it's important.
They seem to think people are turning their backs on age old traditions, but they don't really seem to understand why.
The propensity of "how can you be moral without god?" And "god is the source of all morals" seem to miss the point completely.
Hebrews 6:1
Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God.
It's time to move beyond Gods, and examine that within ourselves that we have worshipped as God, to stop attributing it to some ethereal force beyond us.
