An interesting excerpt (only a partial excerpt sorry) by Horowitz on The Nihilist Left with criticism of Noam Chomsky. Again sorry its only a partial excerpt from his book "Unholy Alliance" starting on page 89 - 94. I present it so people can hear other arguments:

THE OLD BOB RETURNS

A Fundamentalist Christian is brought into the hospital suffering from life-threatening colon cancer. On the forms he fills out at Patient Intake, he says he is a Born-Again Evangelical Christian who believes that the world is ten thousand years old. The doctors then tell him that his best chance of conquering the cancer is radiation therapy. However, they explain, radiation therapy rests on the theory of radioactive decay, and that in turn depends on the fact that the half lives of the relevant elements are millions of years long, etc etc. So, before they violate his most deeply held convictions by beginning the radiation therapy, they just want him to sign a release acknowledging that he no longer believes that the earth is ten thousand years old

Very nice! Theocracy that you do not have the Religion and religious you're not safe anymore, why?
Now we state something such as religion and religion has a monopoly on the government to ordinary people so much in the press and others are hard to tolerate double
But I am speaking about religion and it is the following:
Ordinary people once they know the truth of religion and absurd and superstitious minds of men and the government a tool for exploitation of people.
