Yes, as I said upthread religion isn't testament to our unintelligence, but our immorality.

It has certainly helped us along in the past, and you're right - I do owe it to myself to study more of it, it is an enlightening subject on which you could spend a lifetime of reading.

I have always wondered what advantage morality is in the evolutionary worldview. It goes directly against survival of the fittest.
