And replace them with what? The common people need a god to worship in
times of sorrow and uncertainty, and they will pay anything to hang on to
such a belief, calling it "faith". Religion will never be totally wiped out
from the human mind no matter how intelligent people are. The victims in
Waco were highly educated people who were disillusioned by the norms of
their society; look at the Mormons - they are highly educated people who
believe in the Angel Moroni and Joseph Smith (!!); even a handful of the
Falun Gong clowns are educated, though misled. No, you cannot do away with
religion and superstition - they are the curse of the human race.
