When we propose to stamp out religion, as a few here do, we must take into account that we will be stamping on a very large section of society who believe in the "goodness" analogy and who are not fundamentalist in any degree.
We will also be stamping on a very large section of society which sees religion as a steadying influence a braking system on those who would push society too far...too quickly.

It all comes back to advancing "liberal" ideology and the Christian religion is seen as a huge impediment to that end,
I mention the Christian religion, because Western "liberals" focus on its destruction, while ignoring the actions of groups who are wildly fundamentalist in nature, destroying, beheading and burning alive all in their path.
Western "liberals" are backed by a powerful and persuasive media which now constitutes the true government of so called liberal and democratic nations....their actions are similar to those of forum members who tried to silence and intimidate all who dared to oppose their ideology......thankfully one small victory for "goodness" and common sense ensued.
