Although there are some good points, I really disagree with the accusative tone of the article. I already had this feeling whith the "10 reasons why you shouldn't have a job" article, but here it's even stronger.
It seems like a view from outside, and an over generalization.
Although I'm not a follower of a religion, I strongly believe that the religions are not the problem. It's rather the level of counsciousness they're stuck in. Inherently it's not bad to have a religion, it's just an access door to spirituality. It's exactly like having a job. It's not inherently bad, it depends who you work for. If you're working for a higly counscious light working company, that can be great, or at least a great starting point !
Seen from the perspective of time, religions are not a collection of fixed beliefs. They evolve with time. Inside the religions, there are many differents school of thought, confilcting positions and evolution.
Has any one heard of the Islamic Sophism or the Christian Mystics for instance ?
It may seem hard to believe, especially for US residents, but it's possible to be highly conscious and follow the rituals of a religion.
