This is one of my favorite quotes about faith:
"Faith is a mental disorder that prevents you from discerning fact from fiction. Children should be taught critical thinking skills, skepticism, rationality, and logic. Faith is not needed to believe in something that is real."
My comment: Brainwashing children to think faith is a good thing is child abuse. Of course this child abuse is required or else religious cults like Christianity would go extinct.
And I can't imagine a more ridiculous cult than Christianity which requires a belief in the Jeebus zombie.
"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
