Other than that, I totally agree with you, for many years now, I've been trying to convince people religion has held back society and technology myself.
Reminds me of a quote by one of my favorite authors, Nobel winning physicist Steven Weinberg -
“With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.”

Yeah thats exactly how I feel. I mean there are people out there who can just do their thing and not affect anyone else. Then there are the people who think everyone else needs to know all about THEIR religion and how great it is. And then there are these f-ed up radicals, in EVERY religion I might add, who think anyone not in their religion needs to die.
People need to get a damn grip on reality. BTW that quote dominates. I'm glad there are some others out there that see things the same way as me.
