It's a subtle and fascinating topic

Not possible to do it justice in 4 line soundbite snippets on an internet board, it's just not.

EG "religion is a load of arse" followed by "not fair on arses"

How can anyone engage with that?

Some of the most intelligent people in the world have faith. But it's a complicated and subtle topic which IMHO just doesn't fit on here.
