It wasn't religion that gave us Mutually Assured Destruction, nor that
killed fifty million people in the Soviet Union, nor did religion begin
or play any major part in the two most cataclysmic wars of the last
century. For that matter, religion has largely opposed the march of
technological progress that is the central feature of modern history,
and the feature most likely to lead to our extinction.
