Last thing one should want is to give religion power. People need better education, more tolerance and less judgement.

- dukeofdoom 6y agoBut that in itself is a value judgment. You go from an "is" to an "ought" on how humans should behave. There's no logical reason why we "ought" to do any of these things. These are just a reflection of your values, and what you perceive in your mind would make the world a better place. This is the same type of religious "value" based thinking you are criticizing without realizing it. Why is "education" more important than a million other things. What if my son values playing sports more. He could easily make the argument that the world would be a better place if we played more sports. For one, less obesity. For two, more fun. We all be happier if we just played more sports. Why should I take your value judgments over my sons.

We need education to teach us how to learn, apply our knowledge and, most importantly, be aware of what we don't know when making decisions or forming opinions. EDIT: I don't understand why one would have to choose between sports and education.
