Millions of decent people look to their religions for guidance and to provide a yardstick for decency and civility for future generations. That religions have been the focal point of violence at certain historical times is a fact that civilized societies have come to understand, and have evolved beyond.
There are many peaceful organized religions in this world, whose adherents do not crave the blood of nonbelievers. Savages are unable to progress beyond the dark ages their forbearers created. This is what threatens our world today...not organized religion. As far as atheists are concerned, atheism
is an organized religion unto itself. If they do inherit this world, it will be because the savages have won.
