This Is Why I Rail Against Religion

Paul O'Flaherty 4

People often ask why I actively take a stance against religion, rather than taking a “live and let live” approach, as from their perspective as members of their religion group, they see religion as a positive force.

The image below, which I picked up form some image aggregation site (they didn’t give attribution so if anybody knows the source, you know what to do) showing off pictures that were used in headlines this year, is the perfect example 0f why I believe religion must be actively challenged head on.

Yes, this is one small group of people from one religion, but the simple fact is that religion is actively eroding the civil liberties, rights, freedoms and even educational standards of people everywhere, and for anecdotal evidence all you have to do is look at politics in the United States.
