Indeed. I've probably said it before, but everyone , and I really mean everyone, should take the 1 or 2 hours it takes to read "Letter To A Christian Nation" by Sam Harris, its a tiny, tiny book of about 30 small pages, and I can almost guarantee that it will move something in you.
It makes so much sense it hurts.
Youll find it on Amazon etc, but if you add the words Letter,To,A,Christian,Nation,pdf,torrent to a google search, I cant guarantee that you wont find it *cough* *cough*
It's that thing that the religious like to try and slap on atheists, that we 'don't believe in anything', or that 'how can we know there's no god'?
Indeed, how can we know there is no god? How can you know there is? Because a few guys way back when decided that there was? Where's the proof? That's what atheists believe in, proof.
We don't discount things out of hand because of lack of proof, but we are not going to base our entire lives on the teachings of a more than likely made up being.
We're also not going to live out our days by the word of some old text that has been translated a number of times and meddled with in the intervening years purely based on FEAR. Fear of being sent to hell for not doing exactly what the 'word of god' as laid out in that old text says.
We live in wonder at the things we see, the things we learn, the amazing beauty and staggering complexity of life and nature. We don't need to blindly believe in something we have no proof for, there's more than enough to make us feel rapturous in things that we are able to see and touch first hand.
Christians invented physics? (2:30)
A lot of early science came from religion. Astronomy was born out of astrology. It was actually a Catholic bishop (or maybe just a plain old priest) that came up with the "Big Bang Theory." He didn't call it that, the name came from a scientist that had a competing theory that the universe was static.
