Think what you're saying! At one time the human race was
knowledgeable enough to construct the Antikythera Mechanism, but 200
years after it was made Jesus was born and started a major world
religion, and 630 years after Jesus Mohamed was born and started
another major world religious; and by the time Mohamed died we'd
lost over 90% of our smarts. Actually there is some truth in what
you say, certainly during Mohamed's lifetime nobody on the planet
knew how to make something like the Antikythera Mechanism, a device
that was made nearly a thousand years before.
I said it before I'll sat it again, religion makes people stupid.
Not religion, but the imposition of a religion to others, whatever
that religion is. But that is made possible by the separation of
religion from science, which is a way to accept the lack of rigor and
the use of the argument-per-authority in the field of theology. Strong
atheists want to keep up that separation, which perpetuates the
institutionalized religious nonsense.
You have never refute my argument that (strong) atheism is de facto
ally with the Churches against reason. In fact they too try to impose
their religious beliefs on other, with the aggravating factor that
they pretend not to be religious.
