Religion is fantasy pure and simple. I would not say religion itself is a neurological disorder. The disorder becomes when you believe literally what the religion tells you rather than taking it as some good moral rules.
What a narrow perspective you have. Why can't you use the word as it was intended? Religion is the only thing that drives a movement toward the truth.

And what someone does with the notion of 'literal' is upto them. When i insisted that the OT be literal, knowing what i know about science, collective consciousness was an obvious necessity. It's my perogative to engage such an exercise; and when such an exercise is fruitful it's the picker's perogative to share the bounty, isn't it?
