Er det en trend??

Endnu en skribent, Justin Cartwright: Beyond belief, argumenterer i The Guardian for et totalt stop for religiøs indflydelse på samfundet - er der mon tale om en trend?

Her er nogle citater:

"...religion contains a massive falsehood, namely that there is a God who determines our actions and responds to our plight"

"...religion is, at base, nonsense. The sooner we eliminate the idea that life has "some cosmic, all-embracing libretto", the better."

"I believe we have to acknowledge happily that ethics has no rational content, that we behave morally and responsibly not because God commands us to do so, but because it is in our nature and because it makes profound common sense to do so. "

"I am not in any sense advocating active hostility to religion, merely that we should as a nation distance ourselves from religious explanations."
