    Yet religion still became a focal point in the society. "In God we Trust" on our money, prayer in schools. You can use all the latin you want in describing it. It doesn't change how integrated religion has been in the shaping of American culture.
    You're acting like American society is the only society on earth.

    LMAO!!! You wanted me to give you proof and gave you the means to do it. Yet, here you are using latin. Hmmm...
    The only proof I asked for is the psychology research you claim shows that believing in Santa is a healthy practice.

    Still waiting for it.

    are you asking how or why?

    If you're asking how, there are plenty of books on evolution out there that you won't read.

    If you change your mind and need me to hold your hand to find one of these books and some base info, let me know.

    less religiosity makes for a healthier society.

    Outside of the evangelical nutcases, Bible humpers, Christian Taleban, religiosity is DECREASING, esp among the young.

    Here's what's the Christian Taleban are really shooting for, straight from the asshole of a top evangelist grifter:

    Evangelist: When Christians take control of the US government ‘Oh, the demons shudder!’

    “Hey, government, we can take control.

    There are only 500 of you.

    We can get rid of the whole bunch in one smooth swoop and we can really reroute the whole ship! All is trembling — the gates of tremble! ” he shouted.

    “The very fact that people who love God and know God and love their neighbor, whatever stand up, speak up, and become a shining city set on a hill, oh, the demons shudder!”

    ing nutcases, every ing one of you.

    I'll let you hold any body part you want if you can find the book that proves DNA is a result of pools of liquid over billions of years.

    Are you incapable of doing your own work? So basically you only believe what you hear and are incapable of finding the answers for yourself huh?

    This is what I was talking about. Blind pride and ego getting in the way of actual progress and understanding. The future is not looking so bright if the "intelligent" act this way and can't even carry out basic research to discover the truth.

    Or could it be that you have actually done the research, found me correct and are only asking me to post the proof to attempt to save face? Hmmm...

    It is the society that both you and I live in, so why wouldn't it be the main talking point?

    No, I don't believe your claim.

    But instead of you proving your claim, you're asking me to disprove your claim.

    this is actually in the English dictionary:

    ad ig·no·ran·ti·am

    \¦ad-ˌig-nə-ˈran-shē-ˌam\adverb or adjective

    :by use of unanswerable challenge to disprove rather than by serious attempt to prove*<an*ad ignorantiam*argument>

    http://i.word.com/idictionary/ad%20ignorantiam

    It's also called "argument from ignorance"

    It's another fallacy.

    I edited my post for you. Go back and read it again. You will see the point I am trying to make.

    So stuck in procedure to do anything for yourself. Sticking to the rules keeps you dumb. Almost like religious zealots if you ask me. Not only that, all this anti-God stuff you post makes you seem more like a preacher.

    because human societies exist outside of the US.

    does a human society need religion to move forward?

    The answer is no and in fact, I can point to a great many instances in human history where religion has actually hindered the human race from moving forward to a better place.

    This is the problem with that definition. My challenge to disprove is answerable. Even with a dictionary you are proving your own fallacies.

    I've found several articles very quickly that debunk your claim.

    But again, it's your claim and I'm giving you the opportunity to back it up.

    If you can't back up your claim, then your claim gets junked.

    Yet here we are with things floating in space to help us all communicate etc...

    Religion could very well have hindered progress, but it sure as hasn't stopped it.

    in order to get this discussion moving forward, we need to know what is true and what isn't.

    If you can't back up your claim, then your claim gets junked.
    So now ignoring evidence is part of this? You only post half the story. Tell everyone the rest of it. Tell the truth so the discussion can continue.

    Great, so we've moved forward in spite of it.

    if religion is a hindrance to progress, what reason do we have to acknowledge it in any public domain as something worthwhile?

    Because religion has caused many great things to happen as well. It is easily one of the most unifying forces on the planet as far as humans are concerned.

    What evidence?

    The story here is that you made a claim but want me to do your work for you.

    What's your theory again? "alternative design"?

    I've got time right now for some fantasy/science fiction so lay it out for me.
