Writers on religion that I like Religion news feeds Politics

Religion, Atheism and Philosophy My religious beliefs, or rather my lack thereof, come from my interest in science. Because religion is such an emotive topic, these have been separated from my scientific pages. It is a shame that this is necessary. It is my belief that religion being emotional is crucial to the reasons for its success, since it means people do not examine the evidence as to whether it is true or not. My core religious belief is that we are alone, but it's not the end of the world. We can still do something with this universe. Atheism Atheism - Arguments Science and Religion Criticising and satirising religions Religions Religions have done much good, and much harm. My main point is that they are not true. Their claims about the universe are not true. Religions Christianity Killings for Christianity Christianity and the Holocaust The Bible The Bible in its Own Words: An unbeliever's choice of quotes Scientology The Nation of Islam Judaism Judaism has a fairly benign history. My pages on it are mainly about its enemies. Judaism Israel The Israeli-Palestinian conflict The Israeli-Palestinian conflict - War crimes The Israeli wall Gaza Israel - The future Lebanon and Syria Islam Islam is the most violent and oppressive religion in the world today.
