No; it's in our interests to have *no* religions at all. Religions are just cults that have become widespread enough; mixing faith (the act of believing in things without evidence) with a system of rules. The world needs LESS faith; not more: people ought to base their beliefs on facts, not makebelief. And as for rules, we already have those; they're called laws. Just because one cult is more moral than another doesn't mean it's any less dangerous in the way that it lets people believe shit they have no good reason to believe.
All should then know a bit of Gnostic Christian theology because when it comes to equality, we are a cut above what Christianity and Islam now offer. We do not discriminate against half the world just because they do not have dicks.
Not discriminating against people doesn't afford you any special rights; it just means you're not an asshole on that count. Not being an asshole doesn't make you special.
If someone is not interested in the best morals that he can follow, religious or political, then he is not a worthy person and is a waste of good air.
What a completely immoral thing to say.
I agree that religions should base their theologies on facts. Gnosis means knowledge. When coined that meant facts. Gnostic Christians deal in facts and our theology shows it.
That is why we do not really use faith as some do. We do not have faith. We have hope. Faith leads to idol worship while hope enhances seeking God.
