After watching the videos on Richard Dawkins (including the one with Bill O'Reilly), can you say that reason has enemies? Can atheists be angry like religious fundamentalists? What is wrong with believing in a God, in the stars, in pseudo-science, in superstition, in magic, etc.? Whether all of these things are wrong or right is beside the point. Can they really be harmful to man-kind?
In my eyes there is no religion which is harmful for society. They only negative side effect that can occur is that people take the text literally. These people have to understand that these texts are more than a thousands year old. The purpose of religions and also the purpose of Darwinism are to solve one of the most interesting questions available. Because these books are so old the still try to answer a question, which we can now answer easily. However another aim of religions was to keep order in society. However the world has changed completely, therefore the laws that are imposed by these religious books are out dated now. However the people who do not read the religious books between the lines can be harmful to society. However the same problem can arise among Darwinist. Once I had a conversation with a Darwinist. Probably you already figured out that I am a Darwinist myself. However my point of view during that discussion was a Christian point of view. During that discussion the Darwinist became quite aggressive, because I was not easily willing to agree with her. Therefore I think that anyway of thinking is not directly harmful to society. It becomes harmful when a person is not open for other ideas, and only believes that he is right.
