first I h«- ri’ilm tio ad
absurdum" of categorizing .ill
religions together as "theism"
shows no accurate representa
lion of anv of them Tlie\ are
diverse, often ini ompalible s\s
terns Furthermore the failure
ot a few religious leaders is not
equivalent to the intent of the
w hole
Second adjei lives, quote
marks and olisi me words like
"anomie" are used to indui e
trust and bias in the reader's
mind without am evidence or
rational basis.
Third: insubstantial state
ments abound. Religious
groups don't monopolize the
media, and religion seldom ro
operates with the press, much
less i ollaborates The evidence
Trvba presents is grossly in
complete and poork applied I
would prefer rational thought
with solid assumptions and
balam ed. i omplete evideni e
Clear, careful deliberation,
and honest, rational communi
cation are more effective weap
ons against propaganda than
more propaganda Don't be
