IMHO religion can twist weak minds, from over zealous christian upbringings, worst of islam and religiuos cults. I am confident that many of these people who get dragged into extreme behaviour (not just islamic) would not without influence of religion, or failing to understand the inconsistent messages some religions (christianity) give

Russell's original text In an article titled "Is There a God?" commissioned, but never published, by Illustrated magazine in 1952, Russell wrote: Many orthodox people speak as though it were the business of sceptics to disprove received dogmas rather than of dogmatists to prove them. This is, of course, a mistake. If I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes. But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense. If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as the sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school, hesitation to believe in its existence would become a mark of eccentricity and entitle the doubter to the attentions of the psychiatrist in an enlightened age or of the Inquisitor in an earlier time

Bertrand Russell's parable of the celestial teapot simplifies thinking.

For years I doubted but never really stopped to consider - I have recently and feel quite good that I can be honest with myself and say I don't believe.
