help with a scientific study of religions

RE: help with a scientific study of religions
I disagree with no beliefs at all, that wouldn't help sae. How about taking the other side of the coin and say being more tolerant would be usefull. Most, if not all, decisions are based off of brain chemicals. If you treat religion or homosexuality like a disease then you have to qualify a norm. I'm not saying you shouldn't classify people as being stupid and ignorant, but the second you treat it like a disease you're saying "I know what's right and you're wrong". In a world with so much subjectivity and absent from physical abnormalities I just can't justify deciding what's right/wrong or true/false for anyone else.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
