I don't think I expressed certainty, only a belief, which is all any of us has about anything.


Well, then! If you really do believe that 'all we have is belief', then what makes you right and religious believers wrong? All you are doing is admitting that you are arriving at conclusions based on opinion!

Your argument that anyone who believes in God is wrongheaded is therefore no better than a religious person calling you wrongheaded for NOT believing!

All it achieves is rancor and bickering and takes nobody closer to a better world.

Judging religion based on its belief in a God (or gods) is pointless. It contributes nothing to the debate in a wider context.

Judging religions based on their actions and how they affect the world is totally legitimate. By that criteria, you can't split the world neatly into black and white. It just doesn't work by the rules of logical analysis, or even fairness.
