It is absurd, to me, how often I encounter an atheist preaching the most obvious criticisms of mainstream religions. They take credit. As if, no one has ever considered it. As if the religious are unaware? Like Ricky Gervais - who, according to critics and audiences, is a smart man - talking about mythology like it's literal. This is a popular voice?
You will have to forgive my writing. English is not my first language.
I just wonder, though. If the majority of people do not understand high art, does that mean there is something wrong with it? And, likewise; the Torah; the Bible; The Q'ran. Does ignorance, or inability to digest this, does it invalidate the work itself?
Is the reader to blame or the writer?
It seems to me, that - from what I've witnessed with my eyes, which I trust more than what the television might dictate - most people who are religious do not fundamentally misinterpret the word of God. (As they believe.)
Atheists take for granted, perhaps, that this world was built on religion. The more primitive a society, the more it is spiritual / shamanistic... The drugs that this forum discusses, these are the seeds of modern life. Are they not?
And, how can you separate religion - or God/s - from that?
Here is a quote from Trey Parker. And, I'm sure that will discredit me with some.
The atheistic explanation is absurd.

For all it's macho nonsense, science really knows nothing.Basically... out of all the ridiculous religion stories which are greatly, wonderfully ridiculous—the silliest one I've ever heard is, 'Yeah... there's this big giant universe and it's expanding, it's all gonna collapse on itself and we're all just here just 'cause... just 'cause'. That, to me, is the most ridiculous explanation ever.
