In reply to the discussion: Atheism to Defeat Religion By 2038 (photo update) [View all]trotsky
(49,533 posts)24. I don't believe anyone said there wouldn't be conflict without religion.
But that's not the point. I'm glad you can acknowledge the most significant problem with religion, but I would say that by merely arguing for "reformations" you still aren't keying into the significance of that core problem. Anyone can oppose any attempt at reformation by insisting that god personally told them otherwise, and they are perfectly justified in doing so - because no one can prove them wrong, thanks to religious beliefs being declared as "outside" the realm of rational analysis, as "another way of knowing."
