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.

Unless the fundamentalism could be coaxed into being a productive, healthy force.

Sometimes joining them is the only way to beat them. I think Republicans/Christians are looking for this new way now.

No, I don't think it will be liberal/progressive, but then again, that's a trend that is dying rapidly as the excess of the industrial revolution fades.

But a radicalized core of belief could be a powerful force toward some nifty improvements to the world.

Also, many Christians (and Jews, and Hindus, etc) are quite cool in that they're the people building and maintaining community. Yeah, they don't believe in a fairness outside the natural order, but they keep stuff working and do good things for people.

That even warms my cold, black, violent heart!
