Oct 13: Is Religion More Harmful Than Good?

Decline of Religion
What a good question!

An IPSOS poll across 23 countries, reported in the Sydney Morning Herald, asked:

Q1.To what extent do you agree or disagree with the statement: Religion does more harm in the world than good? 

Half (49%) of all adults across 23 countries agreed that religion does more harm than good in the world; the other half (51%) disagree. In Australia, 63% agreed with the statement. 

Q2. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the statement: I am completely comfortable being around people who have different religious beliefs than me.

84% of Australians agreed with the statement.

Above us only sky...

The glory of the 'heavens' above us are real, their starry splendour is visible to those who look up; but the glory of 'Heaven' is a sad delusion of human minds.

"Dealing with religious people is analogous to dealing with drug addicts. Bashing them on the head with reasonable argument has little effect."
