38. How many people call religion "mythology" or "superstition"
without the intent to attack, especially on this board? You have a few who want to actually debate the mythological dimension of religion, which is fine, but then you have others who have, for one reason or another, a chip on their shoulders. The word "superstition" itself basically ensures that someone is going to to feel insulted, because the speaking is putting anyone who practices that "superstition" on the same level as a baseball player who seriously believes that putting one sock on before the other will let them win ballgames.
