Therefore, I conclude that secularism has its own special dangers, perhaps even worse than problems caused by religious cultures.
It doesn't matter if it is religion or ideology or whatever. Anytime you a hand full of extremists combined with a mass of followers, you run the risk of atrocious acts.
Don't get me wrong. I have never said that religion is the source of all evil. What I have been saying is that too much of anything almost always result in unpleasantness, and religion tend to have the habit of spinning out of control. This is because out of all the philosophies and ideologies, religion is the one that encourages ignorance more than any other.
Just how much enthusiasm a child has about things if goddunit or "it's a miracle" seems to be the only explanation for everything?
