    If you think blasphemy laws prevented Renaissance and Enlightenment Europeans from questioning Christianity then… uh… yeah.

      So if we banned religion and then bragged about how all the greatest people of our time are atheists, you’d be ok with that so long as a few people keep their faith anyway?

        If I then tried to imply all atheists are dumb and only enlightened religious people are smart, yes “all the greatest people of our time are atheists” would be a great rebuttal in that situation. I never said that, though, so that’s a moot point.
