      ​@adnanmir2873 You can't be serious. You're anti-religion about 99.9% of the religions that have ever been made, right? You wouldn't prefer to live under Islamic Sharia Law or the Hindu Caste System rather than Secularism, would you? Pangburn is only against anti-intellectualism. It just so happens that popular forms of religious expression are the greatest sources of this at the moment. But they also host debates on other anti-intellectual topics like "alien visitations".

    As an Australian, and I think I can confidentiality speak for all developed nations, I am jaw-droppingly staggered at the religiosity of America in the 21st century. Of course, the blame must go to the inward looking bubble that Americans have lived in since WWII. We have all moved on and left the US wallowing in the last century

      @rationalmuscle he starts by describing the most ridiculous scenario he can think of to discredit the argument instead of engaging with it. He literally said no SCJ uses religion to make decisions then describes God needing to speak to them directly in order for them to be influenced by religion. I honestly find these talks with Dinesh to be kind of boring as the man can barely defend his points.

    I try to explain this to Christians, the reason the founding fathers put freedom of religion in the constitution is because they saw firsthand the damages the Vatican and Church of England had on local politics. It’s frustrating for sure

A woman turning into a pile of salt. Departing oceans that create a highway for escape. A woman falling pregnant at the age of 100 and giving birth. A man who lived for 400 years.

    Christs precepts and parables were not irrational, he culturally created the moral yardstick everyone (including atheists) use today. Its the bald guys choice to say the belief in Jesus as God is irrational but that belief we hold is not harming society, it makes it far better as at least some of us dont do certain things we would if we didn't believe God is watching us.

    I really do wish men would just shut up about abortions. They have no say. They aren’t risking their lives these to birth to a child. This is why I tune out when men start talking about abortions because they really don’t have any opinion and I don’t value any of their opinions on abortion.

    Let’s assume religion is removed from politics and scaled down to a household practice, if not entirely eradicated from the collective social mind. Would this reduce inequality? Would it curb corruption? Would it halt humanity's descent into chaos?
    Consider for example the deliberate and codified mechanisms used to manipulate human behavior-such as advertising, consumption and political ethos pathos relationship which often fused with manipulative tactics. The advertising industry employs empirical psychological findings to sell products, often without consumers realizing they are being manipulated. Is this the fault of religion?
    I wager that both simple and nuanced answers are 'no.' This is yet another discussion, reduced to vibrating molecules of conversation, seemingly deaf to historical and anthropological insights.
    A philosopher who debates human faculties without grounding their arguments in anthropology, I would contend, is likely to produce a shallow thesis.
    To claim that "religion poisons politics," and by extension humans-since humans are inherently political animals-is a thesis that strikes me as overly reductive. It seems more like yet another regurgitative mill for likes, shares, and clickbait, rather than a serious engagement with the complexities of history, culture, and human nature.
