If you believe that 2000 years of Christianity has brought peace,
brotherhood and happiness then you are ignorant of history.
Or if Islam is a religion of peace why are Sunni Muslims & Shiite
Muslims
slaughter and torture each other by the tens of thousands?

Reason and Science or Religion and superstition?
All religions are based on "belief" not "facts".
Things like "heaven" ,"72 virgins", "Garden of Eden with a talking
snake","Angels","Ghosts","Noah's Ark", "Jesus walking on
water","witches"& "Moses getting the 10 Commandments from God" are all
"beliefs" and contain not even a shred of evidence
any of these childish things ever existed. Why would they be taught in
Public Schools- or posted in Public buildings financved by people of
all beliefs,
other than to explain the difference between "facts" & "beliefs"?
Judaism,Christianity & Islam were religions written during periods of
extreme
ignorance. The people who wrote these books had no knowledge of the
Solar System,
the fact that the Earth was round or that the Sun was the center of
the Solar System,
the origins of the Universe,the Decimal System of Measurements, Germs
or Bacteria, Antibiotics,X-Rays,Dinosaurs and other Pre-historic
animals,Natural Selection, Sciences or even that North America,
China,or the Polar Ice Caps even existed. Can you imagine such a
"belief system" based on ignorance and superstition as religions do?
Or people
who believe ancient books possess magic powers or hold "sacred
truths"?
I prefer reason, logic,science and ethics.Can you really believe
"Lot's wife turned into a pillar of salt"?
