Religion. By, "Richard Dawkins."

If you live in America, the chances are good that your next door neighbours believe the following: The Inventor of the laws of physics and Programmer of the DNA code decided to enter the uterus of a Jewish virgin, got himself born, then deliberately had himself tortured and executed because he couldn't think of a better way to forgive the theft of an apple, committed at the instigation of a talking snake. As Creator of the amjestically expanding universe, he not only understands relativistic gravity and quantum mechanics, but actually designed them. Yet what he really cares about is "sin" abortion, how often you go to church, and whether Gay people should marry. Statistically, the chances are that your neighbours believe all that- and they can vote!

He goes on much further. Relgion is silly. It's Bullshit. It's what we had to rely on to explain the world, before we had an understanding of science! Now? Not so much.
