Some day, jade and buckwheat and bgz may even see an empire reshape the world to be free of religion...
Of course that world will be a world largely free of homeless shelters, food kitchens, the red cross, the red crescent, the salvation army, goodwill stores, 12 step recovery programs, teen challenge drug recovery centers, Christmas, Easter, thanksgiving, the overwhelming majority of state constitutions, the first amendment, might as well abolish the US since to an extent it was settled for religious purposes... the list could go on but you all have Google... religion sure does suck... good thing we've got Hollywood...
