    France promotes freedom of conscience.

    They just say that the religious can keep their vile consciousness and ideology off the streets and away from moral people who are offended by slave wanting ideologies.

    Egalité means equal and that means the religious can shove their one-upmnanship where it belongs.

    I agree that it is all about greed and would add one-upmanship.

    Yet is serving France quite well as they have the first female run mosque that embraces gays and un-veiled women.

    Only fools will say that those results are not just what Islam and the rest of the jihad hating world needs.

    When love becomes a commodity , this can be self-realized and acceptable to a guru .

    Sadly, fascists would like to ban almost as many things as totalitarian communists, because it can be difficult to tell the difference sometimes. They spout endless bullshit about things they know nothing about, when the simple truth is the more any government provides an extensive social safety network, the less religious they become and the more peaceful in general. I grew up in Spain when Franco was still alive, and they say he introduced the Spanish to toilet paper. If you've seen one fascist, you've seen them all.

    Indeed.

    Humans are the most insecure animal on the planet and that is why our insecurity push us to form religions ands other tribal units.

    You are correct in that once that insecurity is sated by the state, people will no longer swallow the lies of their con man preachers try to feed them.

    Only the U.S seems to be more retarded in moving away from religion than most countries and their over inflated jail stats shows how the more religion a country has, the more violent and less peaceful it will be.

    Godlessness produces peace.

    Peace is a commodity ? The love as a commodity guru makes the serenity pose .

    You have the wrong idea. The more capitalist a government becomes, the more religious its population becomes, with lifelong atheists in China today converting to Christianity in record numbers. To them, religion is not merely some old man in the sky with a long beard, but what you use to organize against corrupt governments. Those countries which merely provide an extensive social security network are usually capitalist, but capitalist with a heart and brain. As result, within a generation their population largely becomes agnostic and spiritual, but they never give up their religious roots. Their religions may corrupt their governments and vice versa, because without some kind of alternative to the government things get ugly fast.

    Governments and religions fight to determine what kind of governments and religions people adopt.

    Not statistically, so I ignore this out of hand.

    Tell us what the Chinese like about the genocidal son murdering prick that they are choosing to idol worship?

    The Chinese find the idea of the "Holy Trinity" exotic but, otherwise, Christianity is just more modern entertainment to many of them. Mainstream BS that is essentially no different from what their old Taoist and Buddhist temples taught, even though their temples taught such things as the belief that the human body alone contains no less than 8,000 gods. Westerners think they know everything, but they have nothing to teach Asians about religion, except how to apply it better to modern economics. The Chinese see all of our lowbrow slapstick, but they also see it makes money, so they are pragmatically willing to make the compromise to the best of their ability. Christianity has THE proven record in capitalist countries... so why not? Its just more mainstream BS you either use to your advantage or not.

    Western obsessions with such things can make them go cross-eyed. India has more religions than cells in the human body I swear.

    So you think they choose Christianity for the cash and not for any superior moral reasons.

    I do not know that as a fact, --- but will not disagree.

    As a religionist, I do not like that people are so shallow, but it is what it is.

    LOL, I am sort of married to the Treasure of Malaysia, the Taoist Dragon whom many of the local tribes only whisper about. Westerners are obsessed with money, guns, sex, and religion and we laugh at them all day long. The idea we give a crap about their opinions on money especially is particularly humorous.

    China was at issue and they are not laughing too hard, if as you say, they are trying to emulate us.

    LOL, China is now the largest exporter in the world and basically owns the third world. The idea they will suddenly over take the US and become the high tech leaders of the world is a fantasy their leadership encourages among the peasants. However, they graduate 400,000 engineers alone every year to our 40,000 and have created an extensive highway system like the US, with all the other Asian countries following suit. Without at least roads, their economy is going nowhere.

    As far as Trump is concerned, China will wait patiently for either WWIII to break out or Americans to actually form a real government.

    Check the world education stats and see just where the U.S. has dropped to.

    Meanwhile you should keep up with the research.

    LOL, the Chinese have higher IQs than westerners or anyone else, and use more parts of their brains for language, making them particularly good at certain things like quantum mechanics. Despite this, the only reliable measure for anyone's career potential is the amount of working memory they possess, while the medical industry is making enormous strides right now with being able to implant any memories they want directly into your brain, and is working hard on brain prosthetics that can dramatically improve memory. Something as simple as the tiniest electromagnetic stimulation of the scalp using EEGs can automatically make you Stephen Hawking when studying for examines. This expert of theirs will soon be replaced by AI programs, which are not so easily fooled by 2,000 year old logic.

    His bell curve turns out to require modified Bayesian statistics that vanish into indeterminacy, but he's a westerner and would have no clue what that means. Basically, it means time is nonlinear and his whole approach is outdated.

    Doubtful.

    Computers are good at computing. They are not good at thinking.
