"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne

Religion in Decline? Blame the Internet
religion: an organization that can completely ignore reality any time it wants.

Published here before it is censored by Yahoo cowards:
Magical god bullsh!t shoved down my throat repeatedly. This is child abuse. The child abusers belong in prison.
expertgal = airhead. Airheads are incurable because there is only air where their brains should be.
The airhead wrote "we know at death, paradise awaits us"
Typical cowardly retard. Terrified of reality and willing to believe any bullsh!t to avoid reality.
I never met a Christian who wasn't a cowardly moron. I never met a Christian asshole who didn't brainwash children. All Christians are stupid f*cking assholes.
Another f*cktard for Jeebus is "Hope is certainty", Look at what the asshole wrote. We don't connect with a magical being. And we blame the imaginary fairy for something. And the fairy has male sex organs.
I repeat: Christians are stupid f*cking assholes, and I can't stress the word "stupid" strongly enough. Christians are the most retarded subhumans in the history of the human race. I have met dogs more intelligent than Christian scum.

Imagine the people who believe such things and who are not ashamed to ignore, totally, all the patient findings of thinking minds through all the centuries since the Bible was written. And it is these ignorant people, the most uneducated, the most unimaginative, the most unthinking among us, who would make themselves the guides and leaders of us all; who would force their feeble and childish beliefs on us; who would invade our schools and libraries and homes. I personally resent it bitterly.

On 2/20/2014 Yahoo deleted this question before I could publish my answer:
Why do athiests hate the bible when it has 2000 prophecies fuffilled?
Has it ever occurred to you the bible was rewritten several times and these people who knew they were writing fiction changed the stories so that it would look like prophecies were fulfilled?
You probably think your bible is "The Word Of God". You are forgetting how ridiculous it would be for the magical master of countless trillions of solar systems to single out our insignificant little planet in the middle of nowhere for this special treatment.
Your idea that god loves you and wrote a book for you is called "wishful thinking".
The 21st century is a wonderful place to be but you prefer to live in the ancient past when everyone was superstitious and knew nothing about the natural world.
You are a victim of religious brainwashing. Some people are able to recover from this child abuse. Other people never grow out of it and they become the brainwashers.
It's known as the Rank-Raglan Mythotype. In it, one can clearly LEARN about how Moses, Mohammed, and Jesus fit a hero pattern.

I put this here before Yahoo deletes it:
Samuel, is there any magical bullsh!t you don't believe? For example the Easter Bunny. Do you believe in magical rabbits or just magical god fairies?
Magic is not real, mister. Stop living in the Dark Ages. Grow up and face facts.
"The ways of God are not open to reason, for God has freely chosen to create a world and establish a way of salvation within it apart from any necessary laws that human logic or rationality can uncover."
You can't exist without your ridiculous salvation fantasy. That's your problem. Reality makes you cry. Samuel, you're a coward and that's why you're afraid to grow up.
"For an atheist to presume with certainty that there is no EASTER BUNNY, first cause, spirit - whatever - are they in breach of the very thing to which they claim to hold fast?"
Do you see your problem? Your magical fairy fantasy is no less childish than the magical rabbit fantasy. You believe in magic.
But magic is not real. Any unbrainwashed child knows this. Magic is bulllsh!t. You believe in magic anyway, perhaps because you're insane.
Another idiot wrote "We don't have to prove God exists. He does that for Himself."
Your magical fairy has male sex organs.
The stupid. The burning stupid. That's the problem with Christian scum. They believe in bullsh!t because they're just plain stupid. And they brainwash children to believe in bullsh!t. This is child abuse. You Christian scum are child abusers. You morons have my contempt.

DARWIN QUOTE WHICH IS NOT GOOD BUT STILL NOT BAD FOR THE 19TH CENTURY: "In my most extreme fluctuations I have never been an atheist in the sense of denying the existence of god. I feel most deeply that the whole subject is too profound for the human intellect. A god might as well speculate on the mind of Newton."
Religious views of Charles Darwin
I must buy this book: DARWIN'S GHOSTS BY REBECCA STOTT WHO BY THE WAY WAS ON HBO'S QUESTIONING DARWIN.
Charles Darwin, Abolitionist
TOTALLY EXCELLENT QUESTION AND ANSWERS AT Are there any sporting events that celebrate how God nailed His kid up to a pole because your grandpa ate a magic apple?
National GOP strategist Ford O’Connell said Christie is “sinking faster than the Titanic.”
“The cards are stacked against him,” O’Connell said, adding that Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush will benefit from Christie’s political swan dive.
Bush would lose because of his last name. I like Scott Walker, the governor of Wisconsin.
Do you think people actually go to heaven or is it a made up story?
The terrorists believe in it. That's why they blow themselves up every day. Four days ago 6 Muslims blew themselves up in Baghdad. They all thought they were going to have a 2nd life in a magical heaven.
Despite all these atrocities the heaven fantasy makes possible, cowardly people believe in it anyway.
The whole thing is impossible, childish, and ridiculous. Feeble-minded people believe in it anyway because it makes them feel good, and because reality makes them cry.

QUESTIONING DARWIN (Feb. 10) takes an in-depth look at modern-day creationist theory embraced by those who reject evolution, and also examines how Charles Darwin’s findings and theory of natural selection affected his own conception of God in the mid-1800s. Director Antony Thomas (HBO’s “For Neda”) offers a fascinating and thought-provoking examination of a 150-year debate that has only intensified with the rise of evangelical Christianity in the United States.

Why are many Muslim countries backwards in science and other areas of technological innovation?
jumpas answered 3 hrs ago
Well one very simple way to understand this is to imagine yourself as head of a successful business wishing to expand markets, where would you invest capital and what would the criteria need to be that would inspire confidence and a return on investment? It certainly wouldn't be a third world rated country which had a history of unrest, war and corruption, it certainly wouldn't be a place where suicide bombing was rife and home made land mines and roadside explosive devices were prevalent along main arterial routes into and out of settlements. It wouldn't also be a place where the pool base of workers expected to be have constant periods of time everyday to be spent praying in works time at the expense of the employer, and it wouldn't be where the workforce was poorly skilled, untrustable to allegiance and highly volatile wherever matters of religion are concerned. So that rules out many islamic countries and reduces the sphere of operations for any expanding company to make capital investments in only solid stable environments.

"You shouldn't dance in front of male students." according to a religious person. Is this right or wrong?

This subject was square dancing. A young woman was advised to not participate for religious reasons. The religion is of course Islam.
My question: Is this idea, not having fun at a square dance, right or wrong?
