...Figured that seeing the thumbnail of this image might get you in here...
Now, as much as you might think I am, I am not an aitheist...I believe in a universal life-force, for which we all are a part of (My terminology is "The Great Elder of Life"), and there is far too much that cannot be explained, nor disproven scientifically ...that can debunk that...But in my opinion, it has both a good and adverse side (The concept of good and evil, God and Satan, etc...), like everyone and everything else we interact with does...We all walk that tightrope throughout our existence...
I just think that as our society has grown more advanced...We, like the Ancient Greeks eventually outgrowing the belief of the Olympian Heirarchy (Zeus, Athena, Apollo, etc...), are starting to outgrow some of the old religious legends of yesterday which originated in a time when there were no such modern amenities or technology to speak of that we take for granted today...Knowledge and science were very much considered acts of heresy then, while persecution and sadistic painful punishment as a result ...was not...
For example...Within the Christian Faith alone, more bloodshed, murder, rape, thievery, and destruction has been done in the name of the Holy Cross over the course of time than what took place in both World Wars combined, and this is historical fact! Also, right up to the present...some so-called "People of the Cloth" use Christianity to satisfy their lust for power over others, as well as a way to line their pockets with great wealth, often pointing their self-righteous fingers at the less fortunate or non-comforming, calling these individuals "Demons from Hell" in order to draw attention away from their own misdoings, whatever they may be...When exposed, some of these "Holies" often slink away into obscurity like rats in cowardice, taking with them whatever spoils that can easily be grabbed, laughing all the way while calling those that listened to and believed in them, "suckers"...Their true-assed selves finally revealed!
Again as an example, I feel that many of the Christian Doctrines are very medieval in nature and very much outdated...We're not living in the Tenth Century anymore, and eventually over the course of time, Christianity may go the way of the Greek Gods, and we'll realize there is no such thing as a "one true faith" to fight over...
In the meantime, in the eyes of some...I'm going to Hell!
I say in response, "Sorry...Been there, done that!"

Firstly I must say that I agree with all that you say. Fully and absolutely and go even further as to pronounce Steven Hawking as my guru. But what we speak now may [and by many it will] be used against us. HOWGH. See you in the best place after this here on Earth, ie in Hell ! LOL
