Was this in reply to my comment? As a scientist I think I would like to see the world altogether move into a science oriented way of thinking and perhaps even a community oriented around the idea of scientific and creative progress and achievement as a ways of being spiritually fulfilled. Instead of gathering at church on Sundays people can gather in a lecture hall or performance hall to hear about the latest breakthrough in Astronomy, Physics or hear a Concerto. In a post-poverty world we can start tackling other challenges. The church may lose its relevance in the future, but I at least acknowledge the important role it has played in our collective history. This is also another instance of not ALL religious folks are bad people and should not be demonized as a group.

I don't know what your comment was. My reply was a preemptive response to the inevitable course this topic always takes. It's always a nice take on academically Missing the Point.

>acknowledge the important role it has played in our collective history.

It has played an important role. Just not with the connotation you're thinking of.
