As for my two cents, I am a christian, but I oppose violent proselytization (I think that's how it is.) This includes atheistic proselytization.

Err...how does this plague the north? I live in Massachusetts and its not depraved, degenerate, depressed, and certainly not addicted to drugs (unless you live in Springfield). I think religion probably evolved BECAUSE of civilization. Groups of people in the same place would believe the same thing, very few times has religion actually caused civilization.

Pope Joan wrote:Religion is institutionalized spirituality.
Today it is taking more fluid forms than in the past, moving away from traditional organizations. People around the world can work together to try to revive ancient Egyptian worship for instance, and they even schedule meet-ups.
The greatest harm comes from the idea that I cannot be right unless you are wrong. Looking for enemies in order to reassure myself of my virtue. No good can come of that.
As long as we cherish freedom of conscience for others as well as ourselves, we should be okay.

1)Actually in the USSR a group existed that was extremely hostile to all religions, and 2)New Atheism doesn't just promote the lack of belief in God, but also a soft antitheism. In other words, it breeds intolerance and hate for the other side. Which is the opposite of what we should be trying to achieve.
I am an irreligious agnostic, for the record.
