While fundamentalism can be extremely harmful, I would never want to live in a secular society. Beliefs, themselves, are not detrimental; it's dogma that one should always be suspect of. More people need to question the beliefs in their beliefs, and how they benefit from such.

Well said. That's really beautifully clear. Props to your knowledge and perception.

Yeah, I'm not sure a faith-less world is what I want...nor would it be possible even if I did. I think people are, by nature, inclined to find something to deify. There's no stopping that, which means there's no stopping fundamentalism, which fucking sucks. You can only hope to keep as many people from entering the desperate situation they're often in when they turn to fundamentalism. In my opinion, anyway.

You can however separate religion from law, religion from science, etc. People can pray to skysanta all they want, just so long as it doesn't prevent a girl from getting her birth control filled because some religious retard thinks their going to hell for selling it, ya know?

But what the fuck do I know, I'm just a stupid progressive liberal woman.
