I’m glad religion is gradually dying in America. This will only hasten it further.
Self-serving bigoted religious teachings will still offer value to self-serving bigots, and they still exist.
Research has shown an increase in spiritual beliefs in millennials (my generation), so I don't think that the wider idea of religion will die. But I hope very few will miss churches that teach hate.
Religion is the perfect excuse for everything you don't have a valid reason for.
Ethics could exist without magical folklore. For social affiliation you could also participate in a sports club. And for moral high ground you should be better judged by your actions instead of membership in a belief system.
No, ideology is. Like how your ideology can cause you to make falsified claims so confidently.
The problem is humans. Humans made religion. Humans made ideology. Humans can hate. Humans can rationalise that hate with or without religion. This is historical fact. Grow up.
Good example.
