There would be no 9/11 without religion.
Religion is a major threat to the world. The cons far outweigh the pros (if there are any) both for intellectual and moral reasons I believe.
Its dangerous because its delusional. Not just nonsense because its delusional.
You wouldn't get a 9/11 directly BECAUSE of atheism. There is nothing in the absence of belief in God in itself that drives you to do that!
And being skeptical about bullshit doesn't tend to cause that either does it.
But thinking you are doing what God wants when you do such a horrible thing. Thinking you are on God's side and are going to die a martyr and get 72 virgins.
That's different. That's not absence of bullshit. That's really dangerous bullshit.
