    The paradox of being an antitheist is that you have to believe that religious ideas are uniquely powerful and dangerous. Politics, history, culture, and all context are just debris drifting in the mighty river of religion.

      Its not so much religious ideals but moreso tribalist dogma that’s uniquely dangerous. Religion just so happens to be the particular tribalist dogma we’re talking about here.
