By understanding the religious replicators, the ideological replication strategies which keep religious faith alive. See how they work, and we can find ways to disable them or diminish their effect.

Replication Strategy: High Birth Rates:
A high birth rate among the faithful helps spread religion. We might wish that those with more rational ideas would start having many children, while the religious slow their rate of reproduction, but this isn't likely. What we can do though, is expose children to better ideas, so that the religious nonsense is not carried on to the next generation.

Unfortunately religion will never be stopped because there will always be those who refuse to admit that no "higher power" truly exists other than nature.

We see lower religious tendencies in those fluent in science than in the rest of society. Last I heard - and I may not be exact - polls conducted on science community members polled at about 40% being religious and 60% (roughly) being agnostic or atheist. Members of the elite science community polled at about 10% theist and the other 90% being either agnostic or atheist.

The rest of society, those who don't understand or have only a limited understanding of the sciences, polled in the upper 80s percentage theist and about 10% agnostic or atheist.

People can think for themselves and turn away from religion while being raised in it - they do it all the time. I did it. People need to be educated and taught to think.

So there you go...

We will not see "its demise" but I believe in another 100 or so years religion will be something only in the books on mythology.

Fortunately these people are not immortals. We must target the youth, this is why we must fight to keep religion out of schools. When these god worshippers get the young humans they have a good chance of keeping their doctrine alive.

Hopefully you just hit the wrong keys for my name. Its AZMETAL not meth . I say we should allow for religion to be included in history and social studies the same way that Greek mythology is taught. I don't want schools to teach religion as any kind of fact but as a cultural subject. I believe that we all have the right to worship whatever we want or to not worship anything as it says in the Bill of Rights of this great nation and if a religious group has their own schools then they can teach the kids creationism or whatever but not in the public schools.

After all George Carlin was the product of Catholic school and you see how religious he turned out to be.

And the way you mention is exactly the one in which religion is presented in the schools...as part of history and its impact on society.

To "stop religion from spreading further" to me is the same a racism and hatred. If someone chooses to believe or not to believe, it is their choice. How they are as a person is what matters. I have both friends who are believers and non believers, and we have enough respect for each other's beliefs that we leave that topic alone. I mean there is both good and bad people who believe and do not believe.

Op, if one of the strategies is to for us atheist folk to start having more babies... then, I am available on Saturday and Sunday, we can start making babies then.

On a more serious note, I don't see religion going away any time soon; perhaps in a thousand years. History tends to repeat itself, and history says that religions grow old, die, then other ones take their place. Unfortunately, there are still enough people ignorant of history, enough to keep repeating the cycle of believing their god(s) is(are) the 'true' and 'only' one(s).

People should be free to decide what to believe, just like you are. The law already calls for a separation of church and state. And private entities should have the right to teach what ever they like. Freedom and progression are not achieved through oppression or suppression.

This is one way to stop it....by petitioning the authorities to enforce those laws that state the separation of religion and government.

You don't.

While I agree that it's not only idiotic but also severely harmful to the human race, I also believe that people have every right to believe in a religion. I wish it would stay out of politics though. THAT I would be all for bringing a stop to.

The problem with people having "every right to practice a religion" is how it could -irreversibly- affect another human being. See, if a person's religious beliefs tell him / her to keep insulin from being administered to his/her child suffering from Diabetes 1...this person's religious beliefs lead to murder....

I think it's a different story when someone's life is directly at stake, especially that of a child.

But in any other case as I said I do think they have every right to believe in a religion (I did not say practice, but I guess it's the same thing).

I agree. No person or government should be allowed to stop people from believing in a religion they choose which is part of how this country was founded. I don't agree with religions that will allow a person to die from a medical condition. However we should respect their choice as we want them to respect ours. Allowing a child to die is wrong in our views but not having religion is wrong in theirs as well.

All religious based laws should be rewritten according to facts... coaching on who to vote for and what to vote on at religious gatherings or by religious leaders should be illegal. Religion should have NO place in any level of the government/public school systems. I think they should be paying taxes too.

I think everyone bored out there would get a real kick out of this thread in current events and politics, "You give this a title."

Many ridiculed my initial post:
The "elite" of this world have lived generation after generation after generation sheltered and protected, with the entire world at their fingertips from day one. They've never had to make sacrifices, never had to put themselves on the front lines in the worlds greatest battles. The only times they have even taken a step into the danger zone is when they believed the enemy was no match to their technology and they would be able to return home hero's effortlessly. While they roam from one shinny toy to the next all throughout their existence, never having to put forth any effort, never cherishing that which they've been given, the rest of us live on as servants to their deceptions, making our families suffer to be on their schedule. They have never pushed themselves to go beyond their limitations, we have always bowed down and done all the work for them. The claim to control this world, to have created this world, when all along it's been our blood sweat and tears slaving away to make it what it is today. Every time someone rises up to free us all from the daily burden of what we are suppose to be, including them too, all they do is fear the unknown, the shift in power, a world of equality where they too have to take chances knowingly. They demand respect, control, power, for what? The only thing they have given up in their lives, is the voice of reason and the guidance from within their heart that empowers every soul on this earth to take on the world. Without their lies, without our submission, they would be as a child in a frightening world that they've been hiding from all their life. We are the strong, we are the brave, we hold the future in our hearts and minds and make it so each and every day. 


I think there's enough in there to also dismantle the church systems when fully taken in.

Must have? This sounds as if you want to keep people engaged in swallowing bullcrap. Are you sure you aren't a preachy one dressed up as an Atheist?

The only thing people need to believe in is in the truth...a truth searched, researched, analyzed and reasoned by each individual and shared by all to start the process allover again to reach to an even finer truth..

I have noticed, like most places, that nearly everyone on this site calls themselves "Christian". I don't know if it is because they were raised that way so cannot think of another answer, or if there are a hoard of church-goers on single sites!!

Yes, education is the way to learn rational thinking, however, it is so much easier "not to think about it" and "go with the flow", I guess. Not everyone gets the opportunity I had in taking philosophy classes in high school. It opened my eyes, although they were already opening on their own.

Not everyone is a "thinker" either. Some people just like to follow tradition. My parents, for instance, are immersed in "tradition" and it is sacred to them. They are wonderful people, but their thinking will never change.

Have any of you ever been able to have a "significant other" who is Christian?

My dad was a born again christian, preacher and had his own church. But I don't believe in god, heaven or hell at all. But I personally dont care if others do. I think some of us non-believers go to far try to stop religion. I don't care if people are religious, I just dont let them preach to me there bull crap. I believe what I wanna believe. But I'm not so against religion, I'm going to try to stop others from enjoying what they like. If I did, that would just make me a low life too. And I'm better then that, and need to teach morals to my kids too. I have a few friends that are die hard christians. I just ask them nicely to not preach to me, and we get along just fine. And there are things some churches do, that are very kind and good for their comunities. What this world needs is more kindness form everyone regaurdless if you do, or do not believe. We all share this planet, and need to get along. Because if I'm in need of medical help, or help in a accident badly, and a christian lends a helping hand, I'm not going to turn it down. And I bet most of us here wouldn't do that either. Your a fool if you would, just saying.

See, there is a small problem with religion: it nullifies the thought process. In fact, it was invented by few shrewd guys with the sole purpose of keeping people immersed in ignorance.

BTW, no, I wouldn't reject help from a believer and, needless to say, I will help a believer the best way I know how.

Well, the problem I have with the bible is, everyone knows that if you tell 100 people the same story, tell them to repeat it, you will have 100 different versions of the same story. If the bible was really true, you would only have 1 version of it, not 50 or so. I still think it was a story book, that got taken out of context over the years. And there is NO hard core proof that it wasn't or was. Even my dad the preacher couldn't answer that.
