But religion needs people in order for it to exist, and the practice of its preachers is always going to affect perception of the product. The twisted irony of murder and abuse revelations inside systems where peace and harmony is so heavily championed is jarring, and medical and scientific advances are rapidly putting paid to any outdated theories of divine activity. Psuedoscience on the bigger questions is becoming more logical and conclusive.

Of course this does not mean all followers of all religions are idiots - stupid may even be too harsh a word - but they have been misguided into pursuing a nonexistent and irrelivant reality. Some 'turn' to religion, some are born into it, some pick it up as a fashion accessory trying to become all mysterious and give themselves an 'angle'. None achieve anything they could not achieve without this blind faith or go to a Heaven or Hell (prove otherwise, and I'll show you an electron).

If you're saying there is nothing wrong in the theory of reincarnation, that a superhuman God exists or that one can achieve spiritual enlightenment through intense introspection then fair enough - but as I've said there are a lot of rotten apples in the religion basket, enough to decide the whole concept of religious faith is much more bother that it is worth.
