Naomi...you said earlier today that you equated ignorance and adhesion to religion together.
I am merely pointing out that, by your own evidence, in the form of the link that you posted, that your theory didn't include a very educated country, ie the USA. In that country, adhesion to the most ludicrous pillars of religion are as strong now it has ever been. To repeat, 100,000's of yanks believe the Earth was made about 6000 years ago, a stance that cannot now be defended rationally. But they still believe it, and thus hold themselves up to ridicule.
If a religion can get something so basic, so wrong, it exits itself from any further sensible debate.
