8. Religion poisons everything

Christopher Hitchens was correct.

I also approve of this quote:

“Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it, you'd have good people doing good things and evil people doing bad things, but for good people to do bad things, it takes religion.”

Steven Weinberg, physicist, 1979 Nobel Prize.

I think that fairly well sums things up.

Humans have to learn to live together. We have to put aside these iron age stories and learn about today's world. We have to touch one another.
