How could it be that there are people in the world who, on the one hand, post videos on YouTube, and on the other, believe things about the universe that are manifestly and self-evidently false?  (Yes, I&#x27;m referring to all religions here.)<p>Religion -- all religion -- is so obviously nonsense, and yet the human race goes on and on and on, having endless tortured discussions about the earthly consequences of religious tenets, with a straight face.<p>How can we even begin to address these problems when all religious viewpoints are considered with an air of seriousness and profundity?  On what ground do we (non-&quot;holy warriors&quot;) stand when we say their viewpoint is wrong?  None, so long as <i>any</i> religious viewpoint is taken seriously.<p><i>There is only one proper response to this and that is to make damn sure that I laugh religious people out of the room whenever possible.</i><p>Let us stop playing games and acknowledge that so long as grownups are considering religious viewpoints  alongside secular ones when making important decisions, we will get absolutely nowhere.
