An Unconventional Approach to Save The Believer

The only way to change the tide of religious extremism is by changing the mind of a believer. We have an unconventional approach to this worthwhile endeavor.

Religious indoctrination is a well-oiled slippery slope. Once someone is sliding downward, confronting a person’s beliefs with facts and reason won’t change their minds.

“Religion has actually convinced people that there’s an invisible man living in the sky.” — George Carlin

“I am as firmly convinced that religions do harm as I am that they are untrue.” — Bertrand Russell

“Reason is non-negotiable. Try to argue against it or to exclude it from some realm of knowledge, and you’ve already lost the argument because you’re using reason to make your case. And no, this isn’t having “faith” in reason (in the same way that some people have faith in miracles), because we don’t “believe” in reason; we use reason.” — Steven Pinker

You need an approach that avoids confrontation but can still help them make the right decisions. That’s how we make the world a better place.
