        I would very much disagree. They are our problem and we should put them out of their misery.

            I never hid my contempt for most organized religions as systems of oppression throughout human history. At the same time I respect peoples individual spirituality, as long as they don’t force it on others.

              Any system of power is seen as oppression by those who dont beleive as long as people can choose their flavour of oppression we should be fine.

                There are differences between for example a mostly secular democratic country and a theological authoritarian regime.

                    By people realizing they don’t need the construct of organized religion to be spiritual for example.
