Top Ten Reasons Religion is Like Pornography
10. It has been practiced for all of human history, in all cultures
9. It exploits perfectly natural, even commendable, impulses
8. Its virtues are debatable, its proponents fanatical
7. People love it, but can't give a rational reason for it
6. Objectifies and degrades women even when it worships them
5. You want to wash up after shaking hands with any of its leaders
4. The costumes are outrageous, the performances silly, the plots
unbelievable
3. There's nothing wrong with enjoying it, but it's nothing to be
proud of, either
2. It is not a sound basis for public policy, government, or
international relations
1. Its stars are totally fake
