Religion: Good or Bad?

When I say "attack" it, it's because I'm over-shooting. I know it can't be swayed, so I push hard as I can against it, hoping for the tiniest wiggle. And, of course, that has to be done with enough tact not to drive away the target audience, I realize that, but I'm not really trying to "recruit" anybody - that's what "religion" tries to do, I'm just hoping people might stop and think, that's all. But, what I won't do is pander to ingrained ideas simply because "that's the way it's done" . . . I stay firmly rooted in well-reasoned concepts that don't require social momentum to sustain them.
