Nobody said that these churches should be forcibly changed into housing. It's just something an awful lot of people would like to see happen. I smile every time I see a church converted into housing. There's one in my home town which has been converted into a library: a temple to stupidity converted to a temple to learning.

I believe religion is a malign influence on society, and the sooner its adherents realise they're being idiots the better. I'm not about to stab anyone for it, but there you go.


And nor did I claim that forcible eviction was being suggested. It is quite possible that a great many people would like to see an end to churches. But I would suggest that would not include the large numbers of people who go about their peaceful business within them. Temples to stupidity? Why do you suggest churchgoers are stupid? I've met very few I'd categorise as such. Many are - shock! horror! - highly intelligent, judged by the usual ways we measure such things. Malign? Most people would recognise that churches and churchgoers make many positive contributions to society. Sure, some teachings of some churches are significantly less beneficial. But 'malign'? Too much by half.
