Indeed, not all religions are equal.

But those requiring "faith" in face of empirical data suggesting
otherwise, as well-intentioned as they may be (and I have to differ on
that), remain nevertheless intrinsically pernicious from my point of
view.

Much more so that secular views that suggests solutions which end up
being "bad", but are at least subject to revision.
