"WHen people claim cures for assorted woes such as cancer, and when paid for them deliver something else, we take justice action against them of some sort".


Well Amos, you are kinda comparing apples and peanuts? (BTW, there are plenty of alternative cures that do not face legal actions...check out hemopathy and an assortment of other bogus cures and medicines)

Anyway, to go along with the (silly) flawed comparisons...there are no claims for any medical cures that I know of. Maybe a claim for entry to a heaven. If it does not work out, I guess you could lodge a civil suite for damages. But, if there is ever proven to bea hereafter, should Atheists also be liable for a civil suit, for all the lost sould with nowhere to go,since there would be no entry?

And BTW, regigion is a belief, not a cure.


"To claim one has a sole path to spiritual salvation --as Christ teaches in some versions -- and then largely fail to deliver is comparable, in a spiritual transaction, to offering such cures".


Again, no medical cures on Earth, just personal salvation in a hereafter is promised as a reward for belief. Most religions make the same or similar claims, not just the one you mention.
