How can we not? I'm increasingly more driven to that conclusion. It's such a great evil (how can we stand still and watch hopelessly how it detortes the mind of people) and a barrier agaisnt human progress that one has to think about that possibility (I would like to state that I have no problem with deism or the hypotetical existence of a superior/different being but the concept of God by religion and religion itself is my problem) .
This might not be the best analogy but the dirty work has to be done by someone.
Count me out. Thoughtcrime is a crummy way to deal with things. Can you not mount a convincing argument for secular society without advocating censorship or abridging freedom of conscience?
