A great explanation of why religion is evil

Religion What is your take on religion? Do you base your thoughts in life according to your religion? Do you feel that religion should be kept out of Government and Politics?

Link to an absolutely wonderful movie here folks.

There is a section in the middle of the movie that describes, in great detail, why I think religion is the worst negative assault on reality there has ever been.

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.

Oh, that is an unbelievably excellent film. I saw it a while ago on DVD. Nice find! But don't just watch it for the philosophy on religion.

Yeah, there is a lot more to it then commentary on religion. But it so precisely explains why religion causes so much negativity/evil. It is thrilling to watch.
