		<description>&quot;attack on Christianity, Islam and Judaism&quot; LOL. I would love to read your explanation on WHY this is an attack on those specific religions. Should be some excellent stuff for FSTDT.

&quot;we should expect some natural “adaptation” that will continue to drive us apart&quot; LOL. Yet another fundie that does not understand evolution. Sneaky little question mark at the end so it looks like an actual question.

&quot;Seems this research could be used to justify racial inequality, AIDS being natures way of eliminating Homosexuals etc.&quot; LOL. I would love to read your explanation on HOW this can be used to justify those things. Should be some excellent stuff for FSTDT.

You fundies are funny.</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t see why folks are blaming this on secularists.  This is clearly an effort by religionists to justify their hatred and loathing of other people.</description>

		<description>So, if evolution is a valid viewpoint then in our globalization of culture that is happening today, we should expect some natural &quot;adaptation&quot; that will continue to drive us apart?

Seems this research could be used to justify racial inequality, AIDS being natures way of eliminating Homosexuals etc...

Just a thought.</description>

		<description>This is the boldest attack on Christianity, Islam and Judaism I have ever seen the religion of secular humanism make. Why would this study leave out race or factors other than religion?

Secular humanism in this case:
-Uses its own belief system to attempt to diminish the validity another
-Is making an attempt to proselytize members of other faiths
-Can only be adhered to by &quot;faith&quot;</description>
