Hi Richard Brodie -

Been there, listened to and talked to the man.
A person's humanity is not guaranteed, nor conditional upon religion.
My only 'ignorant' notion about religions is that they are not
evidence-based.
The right to believe a fairytale I take for granted. But there is no
right to make me believe a particular one, nor any propiety in trying to
convince me its historical accuracy is unquestionable.
