            Hi Terry,

            <Why could not 'religious thinking' be a 'scaffolding' around and
    about which a more rational mind can build itself and take over
    eventually..hopefully.>

            Because religious thinking is inherrently, irrevocably irrational.
    In order to escape the clutches of 'religious thinking' (if that's not an
    oxymoron) one has to completely reject religious approaches to everything.

            Vincent
