Except for the fact that the scientific method has a very clear
history of winning out over religious views.
Flat earth (religious in origin) -- wrong. Solved when scientific
Greeks figured the curvature of the earth.
Illness caused by curses and evil hexes (religious in origin) --
wrong. Scientists discovered that microscopic things carried them, and
understood this as far back as the 1700s.

The bottom line is that virtually all ideas about how the physical
world works that are based in religion, have been superceded by
science.

No you had it right the first time -- when all delusions are boiled
away, Christianity (true or otherwise, since every sect believes
itself to be true, and all others false, thus they can never do
wrong), Christianity is nothing more than self preservation and
dominion over others through trickery. Nothing pushes this fact home
better than modern examples like the Creationist movement (entirely
based on deception, and not on facts), the historical revisionism
found on Conservapedia, the evangelical attempt to re-write Margaret
Sanger as a Racist Nazi, all based on misquoting her and others, and
the bizarre mental contortions abstinance, anti-sex, and anti-gay
movements. All of these things are promoted through a series of lies
and deceptions, and that is what modern Christianity, as well as old
Christianity seemed to be about. Despite scientific facts proving them
wrong, they respond to the facts by banning them, creating revisionist
versions, intimidation of dissenters, and imprisonment of people who
are outspoken against the official Christian line.

I have been researching and documenting all of this:

Have fun.
