[ExI] Atheism

[Post Futurist]

Someone else wrote that atheism is a religion. Atheism/agnosticism is rational-- while religion is not. But since most men have acted like apes, religion/faith was needed to prevent them from being even more apelike than they would have been if
religion hadn't been so prevalent. Since religion has existed for
thousands of years it is a long time before rationality on earth-- only Marxists now think otherwise. But if you could colonize the Moon with atheists it would
be a good deal. 

In what way is the slop ladled out in churches worse today than on TV, in skools, etc?

>But atheism, which is nothing if not a rejection of mysticism, is a religion?
