Religion was the earliest science. In science, we are never sure. We are constantly doubting. And therefore discovering more of god's laws.

Great science was Newton's laws of physics. But we did not stop there. Eventually concepts were advanced by general relativity.

Bad science (ie what causes and averts ulcers) was eventually exposed because, in science, doubting is constant. And therefore more is learned.

Foolish religions need some magic book that explains all. As if that earliest science is the only science. And doubters must be condemned. That is when religion is perverted.

Religion is only a relationship between each man and his god. It has no place in other relationships. A religious institution is only an adviser - a consultant - never the boss. Once a religion is superior to that man / god relationship, then religion is corrupt.

Even laws must be free of religion. All men have the right to have their own relationship with their own god - religious freedom. But that relationship must never be imposed on anyone else. Otherwise that religion (and its worshipped book) is corrupt - evil - satanist.
