We haven't, Chris. That's why the world's in the mess it's in.
Anyway, what if it was anti-religious to have a go at this sort of silliness. What's so wrong about that. This "tread carefully, lest you upset their sensibilities" nonsense is just that...nonsense. Yes, everyone has a right to believe in what they like, but when you see that what is being believed is nothing more than a load of rubbish and nothing more than superstitious fantasy, then you have every right to come out and say so. If these people were so sure of their own faith and sure of its ultimate validity, it wouldn't matter what you said. It shouldn't even concern or upset them. They should know better and just ignore you. The reason why people get on their high horses over religion and start slanging matches, fights and wars is despite all the rhetoric and bluster, and their professions of faith, deep down they're not so sure themselves. They don't want their cosy little worlds to come tumbling down and their lives supposedly invalidated by the questioning and/or loss of their cherished notions. Just goes to show you how insecure they really are.
