“Faith…
that’s another word for ignorance, isn’t it? I’ve never understood how people can be so proud of believing in something with no proof at all, like that’s an achievement.“

– Hugh Laurie

@Gloomy Dang and I thought I liked Hugh Laurie.

Did you know that more people have faith in a higher power than people who don’t?

@Aidan Yes but what argument is that?

Secularism is on the rise, in many cases religion is coercive and people are born into oppressive environments that makes it impossible for them to form their own believes and conclusions like in the middle east for example.
Then we have Buddhism for example or other spiritual beliefs that are closer to a philosophy and way of life than a religion and they don't necessarily believe in a higher power like a god.
