How would you respond to these common theist statements?

RE: How would you respond to these common theist statements?
Hiya, welcome Smile

I think the other guys have this covered already, but:

1- Gibberish. Religion is all but irrelevant in England and we're just fine. Maybe ages ago people needed to make up stories to create order, but no longer.

2- More gibberish, especially since not even people in the same religion can agree on morality. It's quite clear that in fact people project their own morality into their religion, then are amazed when it "agrees with them".

3- Science makes no such claim. It can however help you achieve your moral goals once they are established.

4- Gibberish and clearly false. Anyone can record history. Religion is certainly good at rewriting history; particularly its own stories. I've noticed atheists generally have a much better understanding of the history of religion than religious theists do; often this is why they are atheists!
Feel free to send me a private message.
Please visit my website here! It's got lots of information about atheism/theism and support for new atheists.
