Lol I love Neil Tyson memes. He's like a cross between Morgan Freeman and Carl Sagan.
Thanks for that. I found a transcript for those more interested in reading the narrative than taking the 40 minutes necessary to listen to it:

Pretty good video.
I didn’t watch the entire thing, since I got the message it was delivering pretty early on.
I came to the realization a while back, that religion causes far more harm than any perceived good.
Just study the dark ages.
A thousand years of ignorance and oppression.
Caused by? Religion, Catholic Church, Islam.
If the Catholic Church never came about, it’s easy to imagine how much further civilization would have advanced by now.
It’s difficult for a civilization to advance when thinkers are called heretics and hunted down and murdered, in the name of religion.
So, yes, I agree with the video.
But then believing in God and following Him (versus believing in your religion and following its man made doctrine and leadership) is another topic.
Thanks for the thought provoking video.
