Steve: Since reading The End of Faith I have felt very motivated to do something about the problem, but I haven't been able to figure out what. The other side of the issue besides convincing people that religion is destroying civilization is to attack SOM. I think the yeastless factuality of value free SOM is what makes atheism so scary for believers. It's why they cling to their religious beliefs in spite of their own recognition of these belief's low intellectual quality.
