Quebec will now ban street prayers as the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) “super-minister” of identity, Jean-François Roberge, has just passed his bill to strengthen secularism.
I have no problem with religion as long as they keep it to themselves. I think it’s valuable in that it helps a lot of people cope with all the horrendous bullshit we’re all exposed to every single day. Science certainly isn’t going to do that for them.
That is the problem though: No religion has ever kept it to themselves. Religion is not about the supernatural, that doesn’t exist. Religion is always (and has always been) about controlling the masses. Tell them some invisible sky creature will take care of them just as long as they follow these rules:…
There are many more, better ways to cope with bullshit and yes, science made that happen. Psychotherapy and Psychology both are what they are because of science and both are a hell of a lot better than religion.
As far as I am concerned, religions, ALL religions, are a break on human progress, and a force for evil in this world.
