My response was suggesting...hey weve tried religion for a few thousand years...lets try the alternate for a century and see what happens...LOL.
Hauling out the old Communist manifesto is simply garbage. There is nothing greater at stopping freedom of thought than theism...theism that teaches one to believe strongly in lies, deitys, Gods, Supreme beings and books written by man WITHOUT the ability to question. How divergent is that?
Where is it written that in order to be free man MUST have religion?

In case you forget, I was brought up as and atheist and I'm not a christian. Communism was just an example of how to bring your dream to reality and how any plan like yours would bring us to freedomless state. Come up with something practicle or I'll just put your pipedreams on a par with religion.
