A religion is a culturally dependent belief system. | |||

=== Corollary === | |||
Science is not culturally dependent, it is valid for all real beings everywhere and at all times. | |||
=== Conclusion ===: A religion until it becomes something other than a belief system is a false one that may be prevalent in primitive cultures that have not yet achieved a thetic Scientific basing. | |||
=== Imperative == | |||
Since having a false fundamental belief system is bad in a way virtually nothing else can be, a moral/ethical individual will be anti-religious. | |||
