I mean if you accept that the whole basis for a set of beliefs is a load of b------ks, then why differentiate between different types of b------ks!
although i agree in principle, i cant remember the last time any of the aforementioned tried to interfere with research or indeed gave a toss about bodies on their patch. in fact i derive a tidy income from these institutions, mostly willingly - though the bornagains are generally less understanding or civilised (a bit like the CofE and the CofR in the middle ages) and now the CofE hardly believe in a god at all we get on swimmingly
i am at heart a bit of a traditionalist i suppose and i still get entertained by anachronistic pomp and ceremony (there's a buck innit) so i dont see any room on the block for any more needy moonstruck b-------ks
If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about answers
