Masquerouge said:In my opinion, when religion influences politics, especially at the detriment of science, it is a bad thing. And it's happening in the United States. So that's why I think religion is the biggest problem in America: not per se, but because of its unhealthy influence in politics and goverment.
I can see your point, I fully support scientific studies. But they need a moral guideline so they do not devolve into a Nazi concentration camp sort of science. If there are set morals that must not be gone over, there will be no worries of someone taking innocent lves in the name of science: a proposition I will not tolerate.
Politically religeon is very influential, but as you can see- it is in a slow decline in America, so I think that your secular future may come true in 100 years.
