Why should religion have any influence on our lives?

[MusicLovingAtheist]

Listen, darlin'. Sometimes in order to stand up for your beliefs, you need to keep your damned mouth shut.

Your teacher is right: religion does influence society; you're not gonna get around that. Your teacher is not there to give you options, or opinions; she's there to give you facts. Why should she answer a subjective question? Why should she be subjective at all? Whether religion influences sociology is objective, therefore taught. Think for yourself, become an important person, and teach the masses. Your sociology class is proooobably not the place to do that.

Eh, yeah that's a good point. I just wanted to stir up the class. I wouldn't do this kind of thing if I didn't dislike the class already anyways.
