"Religion" doesn't always mean what people brought up in Abrahamic traditions assume it to mean...

One of the first known Irish atheists was a Buddhist monk in Burma at the turn of the twentieth century - a fierce opponent of Christian missionaries on freethinking grounds, who republished the works of Thomas Paine and contemporary atheists in Burmese. See the link below for details of a Cork event this weekend on the life and politics of U Dhammaloka.

Texts is a big part of the problem - written by and for humans but claiming to be the Word of God. Religion is a security blanket and Islam has served that purpose well in the Middle east. Same as it did here. But who can stay in a religious headspace and take Darwin and Einstein on board as well?

If I recall right, Darwin considered himself religious, and fitted his findings into his religious understanding of the world.

Einstein wrote on the subject, and its in print still. See 'Einstein on Cosmic Religion and Other Opinions and Aphorisms', Dover, 2009. Easons should have it if your library doesn't. And if you are not in your local library, rectify it immediately, before Enda de Line gets his slash-hook out.
