There have been a few books recently, and I’ve heard some opinion that religion is responsible for all wars, that religion is anti science, basically, that religion is bad for you.
What do you think? A few thoughts to ponder:
- Studies concerning people’s generosity in donating money to charities or giving time as volunteers show believers out-give and out-volunteer nonbelievers by 3 to 1.
- It was religion, and not secular humanists, who founded schools for the poor
- It was religion that gave us orphanages
- Again, religion that set up hospitals
- Religion which started soup kitchens
- Worked in hospices and countless other charities.
- Some of history’s greatest scientists -- Newton, Pasteur, Galileo, Lavoisier, Kepler, Copernicus, Faraday, Maxwell, Bernard, and Heisenberg --were all Christians
- Gregor Mendel -- the father of modern genetics -- was a Catholic priest.
