Michael Shermer Quotes

The World's Religions Are Tribal And Xenophobic By Nature, Serving To Regulate Moral Rules Within The Community But Not Seeking To Embrace Humanity Outside Their Circle. Religion, By Definition, Forms An Identity Of Those Like Us, In Sharp Distinction From Those Not Us, Those Heathens, Those Unbelievers. Most Religions Were Pulled Into The Modern Enlightenment With Their Fingernails Dug Into The Past. Change In Religious Beliefs And Practices, When It Happens At All, Is Slow And Cumbersome, And It Is Almost Always In Response To The Church Or Its Leaders Facing Outside Political Or Cultural Forces.
