The harm of religion is historically evident whereas the presence or absence of gods is not. Ultimately, the continued existence of religion is predicated on the indoctrination of children and suppression of rational thought. Therefore I am against religion but not necessarily against the idea of gods. For all we know gods are computer scientists and we are in their video game.

    I didn’t say antireligion should be the alternative to religion, ideally neither exists. Thanks for your input though. However, I am not trying to put forth essays of academic rigour. My main objective is to get people to think and talk, more often than not about topics that are often times avoided. That being said, I’m open to any source you send my way; ideally somewhat terse to get me started. No time to go delving into a dense book.
