I am an atheist.
I am one of those extreme ones who would like to see anyone who makes money from the clain that there is a great tooth fairy looking after you done for fraud.
That however, is a very long way off. Fair enough.
For the moment I would like it if less children were educationally abused by being taken out of school or placed in a religious school where the influence of religion resulted in them coming out less able to do stuff (like desing a new helicopter or drug) than they would be if they were exposed to the best of fatual, critical, education.
Religon is, in my view, destructive of many things. The more the religion is devolved from the real world the more destructive it is. The objective of this thread is to try to drift the teaching of Christianity away from denial of the real world and to embrace more facts. To lie less.
