I think religion is a 'Don't Ask Don't Tell' kind of thing - No-one actually *believes* that any gods exist, they all just say they do because of tradition and social conformity, when in reality we all know it's just fictional nonsense. So, I propose that we set a date where all religious people can 'come out' and candidly agree with each other that it's a load of tosh, and move on to a more rational worldview. This would be a great advance for human civilisation. We could all get on with making the best of what is the only life we will ever have, and therefore the only life that matters. All the evidence shows that the less religious that people are, the more peaceful and enlightened and free and egalitarian the society is. Recognising that we're on our own, and that we're all basically the same, and that the future is entirely in our hands, I think we would all be that much more considerate to each other.
How about it?
