I'll be frank here. I've met multiple religious people who push their religion onto me, and I dislike that as much as anyone else here. The problem I see here, is that people are instantly jumping on solemn for backing up his beliefs with religion. So Hya, back off, yeh?

I'm not a religious guy, but I can see his point. If it's his belief, then why can't he use that belief to back up his statement? Oh, wait, because you're not religious and you think it clouds their minds from thinking rationally? Think again. I know many religious people who use rational thoughts to think things through. That's a stereo-type that's badly placed. Hell, many of the most famous philosophers were highly religious!

Also, another thing I'd like to touch on here, is that how you're easily dismissing religion. Again, I'm not a religious person, and I do not believe in god, heaven or hell, but religion has been around for 2000+ years. Yes, the truth of it is dubious, in my eyes aswell, but it's too strong a force to dismiss completely.
