"The dark side of faith
By ROSA BROOKS
IT'S OFFICIAL: Too much religion may be a dangerous thing.
.....
William, we get it. Post stories or studies now which don't
demonstrate correlation, but rather *causation*, and we'll be
interested.
The causation is perfectly obvious and exactly what I would
expect - the pernicious sick twisted filth of religion causes a
breakdown in sanity and morality and an increase in murder, rape
and so on.
Sigh.
Please read http://atheism.about.com/b/a/053103.htm
A study of 18 prosperous democracies finds a correlation between
religiosity and social dysfunction. Suggest an alternative
mechanism to explain the results or I'll go with Occam's Razor.
Perhaps members of dysfunctional societies find solace in religion.
