A nice little summary at the link.
I just posted the headline because it sums up this Group.
Yorktown
(2,884 posts)While atheism is political result neutral.
The Pope: anti vaccination drives and anti gay laws in Africa, pedophilia cover-ups, etc
Islam: ISIS, Boko Haram, Al Shabab, Ansar Dine, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Afghanistan, etc
god is not great.
And there are still 10 days left in the year.
Yorktown
(2,884 posts)Atrocities have been inspired by Roman Catholicism and Islam for more than 500,000 days.
(More than half a million days of nonsense and harm caused by superstitions)
What is making the next 10 days so special?

(2,884 posts)What a great advance for humanity when all this divisive nonsense will finally be shed.
(added bonus: I wouldn't have to puke knowing Francis makes the awful Theresa a 'saint')

(2,884 posts)Not one single study to demonstrate the mass positive effect of religion on anything.

I'd be better off believing in 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds'.

(9,356 posts)All religions make me sick
All religions make me want to throw up
All religions suck
They all claim that they have the truth
That'll set you free
Just give 'em all your money and they'll set you free
Free for a fee
They all claim that they have 'the Answer'
When they don't even know the question
They're just a bunch of liars
They just want your money
They just want your consciousness
All religions suck
All religions make me want to throw up
All religions suck
All religions make me want to bleah
They really make me sick
They really make me ill
