THEISM VERSUS SECULARISM .......part one.

Fewer and fewer countries in our world today are run or governed officially or semi officially by religions or their representatives, except in cases where religions are a shield and a cover up for some oligarch or dictator or usurper. Still, some of the countries totally immersed in world conflicts, wars and aggression are theist or covered by religious institutions, where religion or religious groups play a big role in their daily life and political strategies.

The United States, Israel, Saudi Arabia and Iran come to mind immediately, where religious dogma still reign and exert big influence. Aspiring Turkey, Russia, India, Serbia, Myanmar and Rwanda are all on the good path. Many include secular ideas, non Theist ideologies, and even declared atheist groups and individuals, but deny them even the basic human rights or even a minimum right to participate in the governance of their countries, once in power they all invariably move toward fascism and totalitarian exclusive process and tactics.

We all know and acknowledge that atheists don't practice nor go to churches, synagogues or mosques but they are no more likely to commit crimes, or incite violence and wars than people who claim to pray and several times every day. History as well as contemporary events tells us very clearly, that we have much more to fear from consequences led by religious zealotry, jihad and religious apartheid and proselyting than from the consequences of religious free thought or even open irreligiosity.

In all four previously mentioned countries plus some of the other aspiring ones, people must hide their religious opinions or their irreligious attitudes to be able to run for public office, while the state still claims to be ruled by democracy, and religious liberty, and not by hypocrisy.

Ending the power of religious books and their interpreters, the influence of the Bibles, Old Testament' several books, the Quran and its affiliates from our daily lives and reducing their status to that of ordinary books is more of a moral necessity in our actual times for our human survival, evolution and civilization . Does anyone at our present stage of life really think all these religious books were written by the finger and pen of God ??? If some enlightened theist could argue that the words were inspired by divine or Godly power instead, what would prevent a president Bush, Trump or Hitler and Netanyahu or many others from claiming the same divine power and inspiration !!! And many did .

Never can religions bring anyone physical relief from the weight of poverty, the horrors of our gross injustices of our systems created by men and women of our world. Religions are the conspiracy of ignorance against reason, of darkness against light, of submission and slavery against independence and freedom,  of the denial of strength and beauty and compassion against indoctrination and brain-washing of the younger and older individuals, against the affirmation of the joy and glory of life. By filling our kids' minds with hate and suspicion toward the other non conformist, while claiming love and false compassion.
