For those whom history has made a strong case against theism. From history of religion to history of science, one is able to see the negative effects of religion in society.

Hail History Lovers,
As a Classics Masters Student (with undergrad Honours) my studies led me to dismiss the church as essentially a practical joke that got out of hand. When you look at the 4th Century (particularly the reign of me mate Con - that is Constantine I) you see that it's entirely political and has nothing to do with 'spiritualism' - just as well given no soul. 4th Century aside (just for a minute) the 'text of the bible' is nothing but an instrument of control, intimidation and fear which justifies the existence of the church. Look at 'genesis' - there was a great catastrophe and man was separated from 'god' - apparently a bad thing, although given his war crimes in the 'old testament' separation wouldn't be so bad. The only ones who could 'save' man from this 'catastrophe' was? You guessed it - the church. The bible justifies a patriarchal, theocratic and repressive existence. It stifles free will, progress and critical thinking - the history of christianity speaks for itself.
pac vobiscum
