There are no diatribes against earth worshiping new-agers, Hindus,<br \/>\nBuddhists, or Moslems. If you spend most of your time attacking religious beliefs,<br \/>\nselling products against religious beliefs, and labeling bibles are you really<br \/>\nfree from religion? It would seem to me that somebody who never thought about<br \/>\nreligion or didn&#8217;t spend any time acting against religion would be the one that<br \/>\nwas really free of religion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"post\">As G.K.
