this could get pretty controversial
do you think that the world/US should be more secular (nonreligious, worldly, liberal)? (seperation of church and state) examples could be like having the ten commandments in front a city hall or the use of the word 'God' in the pledge, etc. personally, i think that it is fine right now. i cant imagine a more secular world where everything you say can criticized. i consider myself a semi-conservative thoughts? |

To me, I believe Religion can unreasonable and unbelievably undermine the audacity of the human brain and mentality. The influence that religion has on a person's morality, judgement, and thinking is almost absolute. Religion very much clouds the optics of issues that people are confronted with. They believe that their actions and functions are complete and completely accurate in what they do, and that their belief is absolute. This is where things come in. The inability for so many "believers" to accept that something could be wrong, then excuse their being incorrect by damning them of some sort by an absolution, which really really tips off our hats. The merit that the human being has above all other creatures on the planet is the ability to think, to reason. Religion undermines this merit by a great deal. Secularism is a go for me.
