Religion was once good in the sense it created a shared common culture, and it's true that our world is becoming more factionalized over time which is a problem, but the solution to this is not a reinvestment in archaic systems of control and censorship. The age of religiosity was also the age of hypocrisy where a predatory and promiscuous homosexual priestly class began to usurp power from predatory and promiscuous heterosexual chieftains and kings. That's the sad fact of it. So now we're in a time of disruption where one thing is dying off and the next thing hasn't come but it seems to me we have to build a culture based on truth and honesty instead of assumed and unchallenged authority.
