What do you think is the greatest threat that we, as a race, are facing? Organized religion polluting our minds as it pretends to deliver morality and spiritual salvaton. It’s spreading the most malevolent mind virus of all. I hope our race can one day outgrow this primitive notion.
If you ruled the world, what would you change? I’d stop states and governments from mixing governance and religion. This is a lethal cocktail that keeps billions in misery. Religion must be a very private affair that should never be a spectator sport.
