TAW, Not me, Stalin and Hitler wanted to replace religions with their own product. Not me, I just think it will go away as people no longer believe it. That is in fact what is happening, religion it in retreat all over the world. Here we cannot get enough local priest candidates into the ecclesiastical colleges. So as old priests die they are replaced by various people air dropped in from Africa where there is still a large enough population of foolss ready to enroll in them. These priests are not appreciated in small Quebec parishes and in fact drive more people away from the church.
Look at Italy, waaay down.
However I take no action against religion in my daily actions. It is only when I get prodded I tell people what I think. They have no defence against my comments, I do not believe and they cannot make me believe. All their piety fails to make a case for religion.
They usually resort to derogation, the usual retreat of the person who has lost the argument.
