That's what I love about aethiests, their smug attitude, especially when dealing with those who are religious. You can live believing in God, refuting Darwinism and believe the Earth is the center of the universe and still lead a fullfilled life. The problems arise when people from both ends of the spectrum try to impose their beliefs on the other.


Exactly what I'm trying to say. "freethinking" skeptics need to stop their circle jerking for one moment and see reality. Not all religious people are intellectually lazy sheep, and many have done good for society as well as bad.

If you're still in college/grad school try taking a Psychology of Religion course. It should answer most of your questions. I can recommend some book titles as well on the psychology of religion. My books aren't in front of me at the moment though so I'll just list some titles.

The Future of an Illusion
Totem and Taboo
Mans Search for Meaning
Religion, Values, and Peak Experiences
The Sacred and the Profaine

maybe i'll get a chance to put in my 2 cents later on.
