  1. F**k ideology. Belief is delusional and dangerous. Religion is no advertisement for "moral action" (just read the history of many popes). Actually religion is profoundly immoral because it always provides a personal God relating to you; where the real universe is neutral and uncaring (which is a bit scary realizing the tiny insignificance of us and the overwhelming power of nature). Religion gives you "moral authority" through your God or gods to do unspeakable things to other people through fear of death; like exterminating them in a "holy war", sacrificing people daily to a sun God (the Maya and Aztecs), burning them on a pyre, and to kill and eat other human beings as a religious act (nearly all human ancestors as predicated by a cannibal gene change in nearly everyone), including the pseudo-cannibalistic Christian ritual of sacrement; consuming Christ. Ritual means nothing to the universe. Philosophy, ethics and metaphysics is a higher order than mere religion. This is higher than belief because science demystifies a changing universe.
