I read an interesting (but incredibly long) article in Wired magazine about Atheism. Though I do not classify myself as an atheist, this article does make a few good points about religion and religious people:
- How can people believe in their religion when science has disproved so many of its claims (such as Evolution, the creation of earth, etc etc)
- Can the human civilization survive unless all religion are eradicated? If you think about it, nearly all the wars and conflicts (except for the North Korean issue) in the present time have religious under text (Afghanistan, Iraq, Kashmir, Bosnia, Sudan, Sri Lanka, Philippines etc etc).
- Would people be less inclined to be religious if they were not pressured by the people around them?
Anyways, it's an interesting article, but I won't recommend reading it if you are sentimental about your religion and don't like it if people disagree with your opinion.

I read through the first couple pages worth of it but then got bored. I did think it was interesting to read about the Flying Sphaghetti Monster just a day after hearing about it on South Park, quoted by a caricature of the same person that article was about!
