stick of faith

As an atheist, I don't believe in any religion, but I also don't make any radical remarks about any religion. In my opinion, believing or not believing is everyone's freedom, and the freedom of belief is a natural human right. You can disbelieve, but you cannot deprive others of the right to believe, when the beliefs of others do not harm your rights; beliefs, there may be a distinction between right and wrong, but there should not be a distinction between righteousness and evil, when the beliefs of others do not harm your rights; When beliefs do no harm to your rights; when you think you are righteous and force others to follow the "right way", religious beliefs, like patriotism and nationalism, will bring huge damage to human beings. When faith does no harm to your rights.

Yesterday, watching the movie "Angels and Demons", Ewan McGregor's role as the Pope's Chamberlain gave a very provocative speech, which was deeply moving and brought tears to my eyes. However, when the ideas he conveyed were wrong, the only value of the speech was literary value.

The full text of the speech is as follows:

"The Holy See is at war. We are being attacked by an ancient enemy. The Illuminati. Here are their spies, murdering our Pope, blackmailing our Church. Threatening to destroy our Church with a new God called 'Science' Holy See. They call it "retribution" and they think it's fair. Because the Holy See has persecuted believers of science in the past, it's a fact. Since the time of Galileo, the church has tried to slow down the relentless march of science, sometimes in the wrong way , but science and religion are not antagonistic to each other. Just because science is too young to understand what the church is giving, the church implores science to "stop, slow, think, wait. "Science therefore declares the church to be ignorant. But who is more ignorant? The one who cannot explain the phenomenon of lightning, or the one who does not respect the power of nature? Sir, we are at war, we must protect ourselves, and we openly confront the enemy How's the sneaky? Use the truth to fight the evil conspiracy and end this brutal war once and for all. We must open the door, tear down the black curtain, and tell our believers that if the outside world can see religion the way I do, beyond the walls of ritual, they will To see a modern miracle, in this fast-moving, out-of-control world, between imperfect but forthright souls, the brotherhood that hungers for mercy, I beseech, I beseech, Your Excellencies, that you will be able to put aside the grudge and open the door, Go to St. Peter's Square and tell the world the truth."

I have heard a sentence before: "When science finally climbs to the peak of wisdom, it is found that religion is already there waiting for it." This sentence is similar to the above speech. .
