"Some examples that religious folk have had trouble with over the years:

The earth moves.
Germs cause disease.
The earth is quite old."

Oh, two can play this game: Some examples that irreligious folk have had trouble with over the years:

killing political opponents is wrong.
killing inconvenient friends is is wrong.
killing religious people is wrong.

The most famous atheists of all time, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Kim Il Sung. and Pol Pot murdered more people than all the religious wars in history. Get out your calculator. Get out your history book. Add it up.

Let me see if I've got this straight... your argument is that believing obvious falsehoods makes men "good"?

BTW, understanding that the earth moves, the earth is spheroid, germs cause disease or that the earth is billions of years old does not imply any rejection of religion or good per se. Just the rejection of certain brain dead literal interpretations of certain texts.

The same with evolution.

LOL! Religious folks have done all of the above as well!
