What happens when a young Muslim becomes an atheist?
That's easy. Their relatives would kill them. I'm not making this up.
What happens when a young Christian becomes an atheist?
It depends on whether or not the parents are stupid fucking assholes. There is lots of screaming and lots of "You're going to hell."
Defending religious stupidity requires violence and threats.
Why would anyone want to throw out the loving Magic Man? Maybe it's because god fairies are not real. Maybe it's because growing up and facing facts is a good thing, certainly much better than believing in bullshit that makes cowards feel good, for example the ridiculous and totally impossible magical-2nd-life bullshit.
The Magic Man is equal to the Magic Easter Bunny. The whole thing is too insane to take seriously.
Obviously, the god fantasy is brain damage. There is no cure unless the victims realize how sick they are.
"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
