God belief is a form of repressive intellectual capitulation that can be quite malignant in and "dumbing" of society.
I think this was one of the most succinct summations of religion I've ever read. I don't think it's mean-spirited at all. Religion thrives on the
status quo and prefers the
status prior. Religion expects unquestioning belief of it's dogma; the church is the infallible authority on all subjects. Depending on the religion in question, anyone who disagrees is branded a heretic, excommunicated, or killed.
If that's not
repressive intellectual capitulation and
dumbing of society then I don't know what is.
