re: #52 Nyet

I don’t have the data, but I suppose most atheists are merely areligious rather than anti-religious.

Anthropologists tend very much to the agnostic/atheistic, but they recognize the power of religion as a part of the cultural inventory. It is almost a sine qua non, to use god’s native language. Societies that are not good at statistics need gods to explain why they are always being fucked over.

Unfortunately, that approach takes us into the elitist realm of the “necessary lie”.
