The Fallibility of Religion Creed

Good-faith practitioners of religions should be able to acknowledge:

  • Everyone's belief in god or religion is just a guess, and no one's guess is better than anyone else's. There are many religions. All of them can’t be right. All of them may be wrong.

  • No religion is inherently good. It's only as good as its practitioners choose to make it.

  • For whatever good religion does, it is also a source of tremendous harm to humanity. Good practitioners of a religion should call out those who use it to do harm.

  • Religion will never unite humanity or be a source of common values. There are too many different beliefs (even within a single religion), and religion is too easily misinterpreted, misunderstood, or manipulated and corrupted.
