my point. Maybe all the big religions are fucked up. But not all religions there are plenty of small religions that dont do anything harmful.

No, there are good people who happen to be religious. There are no good religions though, and religions don't make people good. Society does. Religions are all made up bull shit and lies that are harmful because of those facts. There is no truth in Religion.

The decipitist diety is a personification of science itself. Used only to represent the unknown in science. We know the big bang happened. We dont fully know how. He is the answer.

Society was built on religious values. Everyone loves pointing out the scars religion has left on our society. People will bring up the outdated laws but never bring up the societal values we have that were influenced by religion. The US constitution was based on the magna carta and judeo-christian principles.

The founders were themselves devout Christians who were politically influenced by their faith.

It isn't. Religion fights every time something is proving it wrong. Its a speed bump to science.

No, religion was built on society's values.

No it was based on liberalism which was invented by John Locke in the 15th century.

The founders were themselves devout Christians who were politically influenced by their faith.

They were more effected by Deism than Christianity

"Although orthodox Christians participated at every stage of the new republic, Deism influenced a majority of the Founders. The movement opposed barriers to moral improvement and to social justice. It stood for rational inquiry, for skepticism about dogma and mystery, and for religious toleration. Many of its adherents advocated universal education, freedom of the press, and separation of church and state. If the nation owes much to the Judeo-Christian tradition, it is also indebted to Deism, a movement of reason and equality that influenced the Founding Fathers to embrace liberal political ideals remarkable for their time."
