  1. Because people no longer live by noble principles and values. Many have become superficial, vain, materialistic, and lacking spirituality.

  2. The statement "religion is so rational, don't you think?" when used sarcastically, is an example of a "rhetorical question" fallacy combined with "sarcasm". Here’s a breakdown of the fallacies involved: 1. Rhetorical Question Fallacy: This is when a question is asked to make a point rather than to elicit an answer. The speaker is implying their viewpoint rather than genuinely seeking the listener’s opinion. 2. Sarcasm: This involves using irony to mock or convey contempt. The speaker is not actually suggesting that religion is rational; rather, they are implying the opposite by stating it in a sarcastic tone. The combination of these rhetorical devices serves to mock the rationality of religion without providing a substantive argument, thus potentially leading to a dismissal of the topic without engaging in genuine discussion.

  4. Religion itself doesn't destroy civilization, but irrational people who lack the capacity to synergize religious values with reason and common sense.
