Kiddo, you prefer to see poignant responses to illogical arguments (e.g. "people can't question god because they don't know who created god")? How do you do that?

As for religion questions of the original poster, I think religion has no place in public sphere. Regardless of one's belief, I thought the communication with the invisible man/woman was supposed to be personal :). 

And all the middlemen that benefit materialistically for preaching non-materialistic pursuit (aka babas, rabbis, pastors) should certainly be done away with and their semi-god like statuses stripped off. Enough lynching of the poor and the illiterate! Right now, no business is as lucrative as religion--add the tax perks to it! 

A way to move forward ---> Religion should be taught in all schools --not one religion, but all religions. And they should be taught for what they are. Myths of ancient times and perhaps in the context of literature and history. There certainly are very very interesting stories in all of world's religions for people to learn and the way of life 1000s of years ago.

I advocate religious studies in schools for two other important reasons:
1. When a person hears the foundation of all religions, and still wants to be religious, one can hope that such a religious person will be tolerable for he'll find asinine beliefs in all major religions. A tolerable religion is better than any religion that is authoritative.
2. or the Person when learning all these cock-and--bull stories, if  rational, will probably reject religion in its entirety. A win-win situation!
