I'm not terribly religious, agnostic actually. But what irritates me is that even when you take the postition that you don't mind this being taught in a course on world religions, they seem unsatisfied, wanting it taught in science class. That is what irritates me.

Religion is actually coming closer to destroying us here on this planet than it will ever do in helping us. Hell, the whole philosophy of religion is that we will end up killing ourselves. I can't believe so many would embrace this hopeless legend.

We really don't know what happens when we die, but certainly there is an interest by wealth in the world to keep as many people duped, or doped by the various religions, as it makes the unwashed masses more easily controlled it would seem. Anecdotally, I've seen a lot of huge churches crop up here, what appears to be far more money than normally falls into the collection plates on Sunday. That would tell me that there are some big-money investors going into churches everywhere. I think it's all part of the "vast right-wing conspiracy."
