We can't get rid of faith. Don't we use it all the time? When you are talking to people, you have faith that they are telling the truth or you have faith that someone will do something you've asked them to do for you. Faiths all over, ahh.
"Religious faith" I won't even touch that...well maybe a little. According to this author this is the worst hindrance ever to befall mankind

. He highlights all the bad (according to the poster I haven't read the book) and doesn't highlight the good that religious faith has done. If someone does something bad it won't be just because they have faith in a certain religion, other factors come into play, like greed, envy, lust or deception. Just because Hitler killed millions of people in the name of Christianity doesn't mean that the religion itself is bad. He just interpreted it differently. Sure you can say, well it still drove him to do what he did but...how can you say whether it did or did not? Maybe from some writings from him or some historian. You can even ask the question, were those writings his? You can't really tell (unless you were there and you saw him writing it) you must have faith :d.
Woo, I'm not sure if that makes sense but I'm sure the intelligent people here will dice it up. Go forth and have fun.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
