Don't ALL religious beliefs have at their center an IMAGINARY FRIEND? What part of Hitler and Stalin had been brought up with the delusions of Christian beliefs doesn't Mr Singh understand? If it weren't for Christ-psychosis ---were a resurrecting Tooth fairy just like a resurrecting Ganesha, or Vishnu which I am certain Mr Singh accepts as reality -- the Inquisition, Crusades, the Holocaust and Gulags would have not occurr. It is easy to talk about "psychological crap" and the Soviet Union committing atrocities in Gulags when one is IGNORANT of ancient History and Neurology. One must keep in mind the BRAIN created GOD and that the MORE one knows ( feeding it with knowledge ) the more DIFFICULT it is for others to LIE to you. Believing in a GOD, DEVIL, SOUL and Life after death ( concepts produced by neurons passed with electrical impulses by axons ) is not any different than those deluded beliefs of Santa, the Tooth Fairy, Sauroman, the Boogyman which are as equaly irrational as those produced by schizophrenia or temporal lobe epilepsy.

This is instinctive in many and may be a little lazy as we get older and still continue to follow. Others like me realized at a young age that god wasn't realistic and so I rejected it as a theory. Darwin's Theory is more factual in my mind rather than theory. Being a nonbeliever isn't easy in a strict Catholic family so I've kept quiet. Now, I just turned 50 and my daughter just turned 12. I finally came out of hiding to her so she won't be so one sided anymore. I thank "Parenting Beyond Belief" for waking me up. I've also joined the local Humanists to keep my sanity. No longer alone.

Thanks for providing more proof that atheists do not belong in positions of political power.
