I agree with this guy 100%.

He only touched though on the violence aspect, something fundys love to do.

"Kill the nonbelievers!"

His parents were I believe, his father was a priest and his mom a nun. They fell in love and left their position so they could marry and have children. John is a really cool dude, I like him very much.

that he lumps fundies from all religions together. This is not an ant-Islam or Christianity thing, it's an ant-fundie thing.

This is great, a core reply, touches all the bases. Neurologically, a similar practice going on herein as described. I like the nonstop explanation, quite well done.

Selfishness is the driving force behind most of the evils of religion. Selfishness is why you can't allow theocrats to take power. The non-believers and people that are different suffer.

A major scam of religion is that practitioners create their gods in their own image, and right-winged theists use this self-created god to rationalize their selfishness.
