Quote Of Note - Amanda Marcotte

“The point is that religion puts a value on irrationality, which makes it the perfect tool for promoting irrational beliefs like misogyny. Other ideologies can be challenged with evidence and reason, but religion is allowed a pass by most people. And that’s why it’s especially dangerous.” Amanda Marcotte

religion is something humans partake of in the malls, strip joints, business meetings and in front of their tv's and computers, as well as in their congregations. Part of the definition of religion is:

3 archaic : scrupulous conformity : conscientiousness
4 : a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith

and part of the definition for worship is:

4 : extravagant respect or admiration for or devotion to an object of esteem

so most peoples god isnt in heaven it is in their wallets and in their bellies thats why it says "in god we trust" right on every single bill.

perhaps you should rename this to no humans, no religion. imagine...
