Quote by: Prometheus The only real point to take from this is that maybe religion should not be treated with such abject scorn, even by atheists. It's gotton us this far hasn't it. |
As an atheist I find the study of religion to be interesting for what it says about culture and psychology. The "gotten us this far" argument doesn't hold much water. A theist might make that claim, while an atheist might suggest that religion has "gotten us this far" in spite of the damage done. Both is a difference in perspective without being much of an argument either way.
