Artist In Training, I recognize God is important to many if not most people. My point it god it irrelevant to science, math, etc. and faith in a god is not needed for a wortwhile life that is free of fear and uncertainty.
I also recognize most religionists would not agree with that statement but the facts prove otherwise. Many religionists would choose to have a less meaningful life without a belief in a god but that would be there choice.
God *is* important to those who make him important but a society does not need a god to prosper nor does an individual need a god to be happy and comfortable in their own skin and lead a meaningful life.
There is nothing dangerous about rejecting faith in a god nor does it lead to despair or a life of crime. And children do not need faith in a god any more than my goldfish do.
