It's good to have an open mind, maybe if you had one you'd see that this doctrine of yours (or did you uncritically receive it from that Dawkins chap?) that religion is the same thing as ignorance was, well, ignorant.

i actually went to sunday school untill the age of 10, basically because it was a free babysitter, my parents have no religious standing, but they never told me what to think. since the age of 10 i gradually discredited the bible and decided that instead of believing that god created the earth in seven days (etc) the earth was created over billions of years from leftover dust from a supernova. instead of beliving that humans come from some ribs and some dust we evolved from apes of millions of years. instead of believing that after death your spirit flies off (somewhere) and your reunited with dead relatives, your constituent atoms are re-distributed in the ground or in the air and continue a cycle of life that's been going for billions of years.
you want to talk about ignorance.
yes i do think preaching a book written by men 2000 years ago as scientific fact is ignorant, when all it is at best is a philosophical document on the human nature and society.
