Because for most of man's history religion has had a free pass,  
exempt from the harsh criticism it so rightly deserves.

Time to try it the other way around.  If there are a few grains of  
utility or, at least, non-evil buried in the muck of religion, we're  
still better off denouncing the whole mess and starting from a clean  
slate.

NO to religion.
