Religion becomes a symbolic expression of intergroup hostility and revenge, no better and no worse than other labels such as skin colour, language or favorite football team; and religion often comes into play where other labels ordered the road.

How not to recall a test of David Hume on miracles: "No testimony can not serve as proof of the miracle, except for the situation when false testimony is even more incredible than the fact that it should confirm".

The main tenet of religious faith, its strength and the greater glory is that she does not need rational justification. The rest of us have to defend their beliefs. But ask a believer to justify his belief - and you are accused of infringement on "freedom of conscience".

In the UK, demonstrators carried banners reading "death to the murderers of Islam, Kill the mockers of Islam" and "Europe, you're gonna die, storm coming," and - apparently without intentional irony - "will Obeslim consider Islam a religion of violence."

Often talk about existing in the minds of the niche "under God": that people have a psychological need for God - imaginary friend, father, big brother, Confessor, intimate friend, which must be met regardless of whether God exists in reality. But what if God simply takes the place that it would be better to fill it with something else? Science, for example? Art? Human friendship? Humanism? Love to this life in the real world, instead of waiting another, beyond the grave?

According to the fair remark of Medarov, the logical conclusion of the argument about "human potential" is that each time, missing the opportunity of sexual intercourse, we deprive the human soul of the chance to be born. According to the idiotic logic of "defenders of life", any failure of fertile individual from copulation is equivalent to killing a potential baby!

In the study of Hartung "the Bible is a body of law to develop a group morality with ready instructions for genocide, enslavement of neighboring groups and world hegemony. But the Bible is not evil only because of putting problems or even just because of the glorification of murder, cruelty and violence. Many of the ancient texts are guilty of the same - the Iliad, the Icelandic sagas, the myths of ancient Syria, inscriptions of the ancient Maya and other. However, we are not trying to sell the "Iliad" as a Canon of morality. This is the problem. The Bible buy and sell as a guide by which people should live."
