Yeah its also totally and completely western in its beliefs. 'the worlds religions'.... How does any of what has been written apply to pantheists, for which there are a sizeable number of in the world? Japan is a pantheistic nation, for example. They are born shinto or christian, married shinto or christian (often the opposite of what they were born), there buddhist when they die... There cool in believing any religion they want and take what they want from each religion. Im sure theres other countries like this too, maybe China and Korea... People seem to forget often that this side of the world exists because the media focuses so much on the middle east/europe/america world issues.
Im sure theres also huge amounts of individuals who are pantheistic.
The article is way too full of emotional rhetoric too, with not much in the way of facts or backup, yet claims something as strong as 'religion is the root of all evil'. I think I managed to give up such pointless beliefs when I was about 18...
Its like drugs... Drugs aint the problem, its the people that use them.... Same can be said about religion. Too many people in the world not prepared to think for themselves and too many people using religion to manipulate them. 'Manipulation of young minds'... Well Im sorry, but too many people are victims of their own design. My (crude, overgeneralised) 2 cents.....
