Welcome 1914! and 8675309.
I was out in San Diego a couple of months ago. Loved it.
I'm sure many would agree that you should just leave religion alone if you don't like it. Live and let live and all that.
Others feel that religion, like any other group or person making extraordinary claims, should be challenged to put up or shut up. Its basic premises should be questioned and where lacking, exposed. That's my feeling. There's a ton of crap in this world, and lovers of truth and reason are the ones standing up against it. It's true in the medical field, in the sciences and pseudo-sciences, everywhere.
If you make a claim, you ought to be able to provide some proof or evidence to back it up. Religion should be no exception. Anything that you base your life on, that can be a matter of life and death and that can dramatically affect the quality of your life and therefore the lives of people around you, ought to be subject to scrutiny and questioning, and ought to be able to defend itself.
When parents can refuse livegiving proven medical treatment for a child, or tell their children not to go to college, or not to believe in accepted science, on the basis of a supernatural religious belief, they need to be called to task and asked to defend their views. And where those views and their reasoning is full of shit, someone ought to say so, loud and clear.
