"To him, it's blindingly obvious: the great religions all began at a time when we knew a tiny fraction of what we know today about the origins of Earth and human life. It's understandable that early humans would develop stories about gods or God to salve their ignorance. But people today have no such excuse. If they continue to believe in the unbelievable, or say they do, they are morons or lunatics or liars."

"To deny all the qualities of a being is equivalent to denying the being itself. A being without qualities is one which cannot become an object of the mind, and such a being is virtually non-existent." -Ludwig Feuerbach

The word "faith" means: acceptance without benefit of knowledge. By declaring that one has "faith", one has already admitted that one is ignorant. There should be no shame in being ignorant. Ignorance is simply a lack of knowledge. But, stupidity is the willful rejection of knowledge that is available. If religion is the glorification of "faith", then religion is the glorification of ignorance. And, since there is a preponderance of actual knowledge available to remedy one's ignorance, and since religion instructs the "faithful" to willfully reject knowledge, one is forced to conclude that religion promotes stupidity. And this is the paradigm that "people of faith" wants the general public to accept as a standard for civil law and the electability of political candidates? Hmmmm....
