While obscurantism flourishes in many states of modern civilization, and quite at the level of the Middle Ages, somewhere there is still sanity, for example, Iceland accepts a declaration of mass destruction
Reykjavik, Iceland – The Icelandic parliament has voted to classify all religions as weapons of mass destruction. Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism and Buddhism now fall into the same category as nuclear weapons, mustard gas and chemical warfare agents.
The logic behind the declaration:
Andrew Canard, one of the legislators who voted for the new law, expressed what many think in this largely atheistic country:
Weapons of mass destruction, by definition, are weapons capable of inflicting death and destruction on such a huge scale and so indiscriminately that its very presence in the hands of a hostile power can be considered a serious threat. Looking at the crusades, jihadist wars, or how the evangelical oligarchy in America is destroying the planet, one can understand that faith is destructive on a massive scale.
“We recently took a similar measure with regard to Christianity,” he said. “We in parliament considered it necessary for people to know that all religion is a mental disorder and at the same time dangerous.”
Iceland also recommends that those addicted to drugs of religion look for local branches of Believers Anonymous, similar to Alcoholics Anonymous.
