Organised religion is the biggest scam in the world, no?

I mean, just come up with ridiculous stories, fool a lot of sheep into following.

When someone questions the logic behind these stories, harass them, claiming that they& #39;ve hurt sentiments and beliefs.

In "The God Delusion", Richard Dawkins devotes a full chapter to question this special privilege that has been granted to religions around the world.

This privilege is absolutely ridiculous. And, with religious bigots in power, it gets extremely disturbing.

Ideally, scientists should take offense looking at the illogical beliefs and superstitions, which shit on the years of work they put in, to to get an understanding of how things work, to make lives better and to save lives.

Similarly, shouldn& #39;t it be the rationalists who feel offended at the ridiculousness of these beliefs and superstitions?

But, instead the people who are conditioned not to question these beliefs, take offense when ridiculousness is pointed out!

People continue to be at the receiving end just because they question blind beliefs using solid facts!

From Rhazes in 8th century to Galileo and Giordano Bruno in 16th century to now - things haven& #39;t changed at all.

Looks like it is only becoming worse!
