OC & pro-religionists:

There is a very simple way to explain the conclusion that religion = load of crap.

There is more than one religion. (Bold, underline, highlight, etc.)

If there is more than one religion, how can any one be right? Clearly we have just created stories to help us make sense of the world, and I'm not saying this is wrong - it is much more pleasant than facing the realities of life. Still, the truth will out, and when something terrible happens to you, you will doubt your mischievous god. Either that or you will blame yourself, think it happened to 'teach you' something and throw yourself deeper into an ignorant faith that prevents you from seeing the real cause of your distress.

I hope I made that clear. We are all the same, us people. One species. No emotional, fear-led story can detract from that.
