I have been intrigued to read various posts concerning matters of right and wrong. For example, current posts about women in islam. A constant feature of these discussions is that religious people refer to sacred texts for answers instead of trying to find answers by observation and reason. They often seem to reach particularly pernicious conclusions.
Would everyone be much better off without sacred texts? Would the human capacities for empathy, compassion and reason bring a better society to live in?
