> In a nutshell, the purpose of religion is moral guidance and hope for the less intelligent. Intelligence is independent of morality. Moral relativism frequently appeals to the very intelligent because they are intelligent and therefore know better. Likewise, absolutely anything can become morally justified with moral relativism. Anything. Including horrors against mankind. Atheism isn't the only one targeted. Christianity is frequently subverted by the same people. But atheism is one of their foremost weapons to subvert everything. Including christianity. With it brings moral relativism and the fall of man. The biggest problem people have is ignorance of our past. It took me a long time to figure out why jewish gatekeepers exist on archeology and anthropology. Why historical fact was constantly pushed into the realm of myth and legend (example, Troy and Atlantis) and Out of Africa.
