Freedom and religion are enemies.

[Sun Devil 92]

The US Constitution should read : "Freedom from religion", not "Freedom of religion". Maybe it's a typo? Because religions shouldn't be free to do what they want to people.

Can you say something that makes sense ?

What does freedom do to people ?

Freedom of religion allows religion to fuck people up.

Only if people chose to allow it to.

Or are you one of those left wing arrogant jerks who thinks he's Al Gore ?

Like people who believe in an invisible superbeing can stop it from fucking them up.

Religion is mental sauve for an uneducated mind. It is a way for humans to 'feel' like they have control over all the huge things that kill them in the world by 'praying' or 'sacrificing a virgin' or 'offering fruit, meat, hair, animal sacrifices'. Since humans couldn't control floods they imagined a power, that looked like they do, that had the power over floods. And they then imagined if they offered this 'power' a sacrificed goat, which was extremely valuable when you only have two goats, then the 'power' or 'god' would have mercy on them and not send a flood. Extrapolate out to volcanoes, lightning, fire, bears, tigers, lions, crocodiles.

Modern religion serves the same purpose except over the last 3,000 years humans have learned they can manipulate the masses using this fear of a 'power' greater than themselves. And as humans that are in control do not like to give up that control which usually carries with it great wealth and choice of multiple females and thus carrying on ones genes, those in control nearly always side with the dominant religion and offer that group special treatment and physical dominance over other groups in exchange for keeping the masses medicated mentally. By default religion, even though on a personal level may help people in their lives, on a state level it is used as a boot on the neck of freedom.

'Twas always thus and always thus will be.

The english speaking world discusses about religion (=the rebound in spirituality) like others are discussing about the colors of the flowers on the not existing planet Antares.

Not really. As far as I can see lost the Christians in the last 25 years about 90% of their spiritual power. So I'm nearly sure you will win your war although I'm absolutelly not sure what you will win, "savior".
