i wonder why people think this is a good way to move
forward...
it steps on a few rights of people who want to believe that there
is a higher power.. in that, there will be seeds of unrest...
then, people seem to conveniently forget that in a few countries
that have tried to abolish religion (see the communists) and
subsequently had to open up their countries again, there was a lack
of morality, a sense of right and wrong, in their people.. PRC is a
good example.. after years of official rejection of religion, even
to the state of rejecting their cultural teaching by confucious,
you see now a people driven to "success" and material gain at all
costs and by any means...
things are not as simple as "abolish religion"
the backlash may be worse than you think..
