an important issue which in this country doesn't get much msm attention, and so, confirms and contributes to what mr. hari is stating eloquently. it so contributes to the discrimination which exists in religiious communities.

Well-reasoned and thoughtful, Hari makes a good case that religious views are imperiling civil liberties, with many examples of how that is happening, and what the results are.

Mr. Hari has written an excellent, thoughtful op-ed that reveals a serious threat to the ideals of the United Nations, in particular, the ideal of freedom of speech. Cohesively organized, Mr. Hari makes a well-reasoned, cogent case worth a careful reading, especially by all religious and/or freedom-of-speech loving persons.

An excellent article by a man who believes what he believes in period. I live in the Bible Belt, and the first words after"' Howyadoin'"is What church you go to? When I tell them I don't believe in organized religion, I get the "stink-eye" and they walk away. If they would have stuck around, I would have explained that I also don't believe in anything that is organized by man. Be it Boy Scouts, little league, and especially City Hall. I might be agnostic, I don't know, but seeing is believing.

Mr. Hari explores a very delicate issue with a forthright and candid logic that cannot be denied. I am a tad more religious than he, a Catholic, by the way, and I suspect that the Almighty would certainly not condone a whole lot of actions we purport to undertake in His name, i.e. the Spanish Inquisition, the Crusades are but two of many. Nor would He approve of the stoning of women. I cast no stones, but the only way for us ALL to learn and progress is through open dialogue.
