What’s God got to do with religion? Nothing!

There are no religions only religious institutions. Religions as institutions have two components, one imaginary and one real:
1. faith-based mythological and cultic claims — an imaginary supernatural component
2. demands to exercise secular power — an illegitimate political component.
In our secular Republic, there is no executive privilege for God.

• Faith claims are meaningless —

Pretensions to secular power based on them are dangerous. God has been dead since Copernicus. But, 460 years later US teems with religious institutions. They do exist, in disgusting abundance. Religions are Ponzi schemes perpetrated by avaricious institutional hacks. Priest and televangelist, Pope and Supreme Ayatollah, bishop and imam are not God’s proxies. They are political ideologues making institutional claims to secular power financed by fraudulently obtained donations.

Imagine a world empty of religious institutions.

The same people who fund the controversial faux “Ground Zero Mosque” comprise the organization that’s hyping the controversy and funding opponents of the Cordoba house (the Republican Governor’s Fund). In short, the conflict is manufactured. The issue is worded to incite hate and fear and otherwise bring out the worst in us, to the end of blinding us to Obama’s successes in keeping his campaign promises in anticipation of upcoming fall elections.
