Actually, I went to HS in LA during the '60s, and World Religions was a part of my Freshman World Civ class. It was my first exposure to Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, etc. Apparently, that is no longer the case. This was the perfect non-confrontive exposure to the creeds of the world. Too bad we don't still do this.

Quotes of Note:

"The so-called Christian nations are the most enlightened and progressive...but in spite of their religion, not because of it. The Church has opposed every innovation and discovery from the day of Galileo down to our own time, when the use of anesthetic in childbirth was regarded as a sin because it avoided the biblical curse pronounced against Eve. And every step in astronomy and geology ever taken has been opposed by bigotry and superstition. The Greeks surpassed us in artistic culture and in architecture five hundred years before Christian religion was born."

Mark Twain

"I say quite deliberately that the Christian religion, as organized in its churches, has been and still is the principal enemy of moral progress in the world."

Bertrand Russell

"For the kinds of small animals we are talking about, we can assume one generation per year, so it seems that it would take less than half a million years to evolve a good camera eye."

Richard Dawkins

"It is almost as if the human brain were specifically designed to misunderstand Darwinism, and to find it hard to believe.."

Richard Dawkins

"Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence."

Richard Dawkins
