We
atheists know a lot about science and religion. Religion is not at
fault per se. Religion has served a purpose in the past and religion will survive and thrive as long as there's
a market for it. Fundamentalist religions ought to be replaced by
something more fulfilling which can be
practiced in a more rational manner. I quite like the idea of Dr Edward de
Bono's "A New Religion?" which is about how to live your life positively
through Happiness, Humour, Help, Hope and Health. What drives me is not
to crack down god worshipping religions because I think they are false and in
error,.......etc. But rather I like to envisage and pursue a course of social activity which will be
successful in replacing past "sell-by-date religions". Isn't it possible
to perpetuate virtues, such as kindness, love, generosity, etc ,as well
as , the practice of ethics without a god?
