But, religions should vanish when they no longer serve a purpose. Take Christmas as an example. 'Peace on Earth, good will to men'. Santa proclaims this, not Jesus. Which is a superior moral teacher?
People can believe anything they wish; however, this says absolutely nothing about their justification for belief. Without justification I don't have to take seriously the belief or the dictums that follow.
The most damning consideration you must face is the fact that the world operates the same when you remove consideration for your God.
