to recognize just what a drag on human development religion is we see how religions must be anti-science....anti-reason. In them old days when we weren't on the verge of destroying our planet and didn't know much about anything, religion might have had some small benefit...but religious folks are afraid of science now because to dabble in science or understand it you have to develop rational thought...and it isn't long before you wonder about walking on water and turning fish into wine....religious folks are forced to take stupid anti-science positions because they don't want rationality to spread...it will hurt the brand, as it already has.

Trouble is we need science and reason, badly, these days. It's like being in a sinking ship and not believing in lifeboats....you can tread water, but for how long?
