Suffice it to say that there remains, over 3800 years since the onset of the abrahmic monotheistic religions, absolutely no empiracle, tangible, or even credible evidence that can prove the existence of a god, christian or otherwise.
The need for a belief in a superior being to conduct one's self in a civilized manner based on fear of sternal damnation, or the greed of reciept of eternal paradise, has come and gone.
Organized religion is an evil, nasty, horrible entity that has historically, and continually ostracized, persecuted, and suppressed the free thinking mind for thousands of years. Resorting to violence in the crusades, and beyond.
Ignorance of the facts, and tangible proofs that we have acquired in archeological digs, scientific discovery, and even the simplest of botanical sciences that my 11 year old mentaloly disabled niece can learn, disproving most of the biblical explanations of the origin of the world and mankind is the christian/jewish/sunni/shieite/muslim (and the list goes on) way of life. Keep in the dark, that way the power remains with the clergy, and man does not progress.
Only until the US made a founding law about religion and government, did they have power over the people. Now they are grasping at straws, and people are becoming aware of the facts, instead of just taking the word of the clergy's word for it.
