Based on philosophic and scientific argument over the past few hundred years, I think religion has been completely shown up as false, as man-made (and male-made specifically), and as revolting (think vicarious redemption).

Intellectually, It is clear that the battle has been won by the non-believers, and it has been that way for a long time.

However, politically, the secular movement is a dwindling minority which I fear will be defeated by the forces of theocracy, therefore this is where the war has yet to be won. Just look at the Middle East, those of you who wish to see a world run by religion. Look at how hard it is becoming, even in secular America, to critisise religion, and Islam specifically. Look at how a cartoonist in a tiny secular country in Northern Europe can be sentenced to death by mullahs thousands of miles away.

The battle is far from over, and as much as we would like to give up, it is our duty to stand up to religious bullying and intimidation, and resist it while we still can, and before our right to complain is taken away by the religious.
