"Some of the most"? Can you please give some statistics?
"Christianity is most certainly backed by rationality and reason"? I certainly agree that comment above yours is a counterpoint for your argument (if we deliberately replace the general word "religion" by "Christianity"); you, on the other hand, failed to deliver a convincing defense. It is not the criticisms that make a religion look bad, it is the failure of those who adhere to admit and fix it that makes it look bad. Jesus was never a blind nor an ignorant person; he was a passionate humanist, and yet, the religions that grant themselves a say about his words have failed to love or be rational. (Sources: religious wars in history, religious policies against gays/women/non-whites)I'm sure you will cite good Christians to back up your case, but notice that if bad individuals can't represent a religion then by the same token, good ones can't represent it either. I'm talking here about Christianity as a whole and how it has failed to be humanistic. FYI, please don't bring "most intelligent people" as a defense. It's not really attractive in the following sense: "most intelligent" doesn't mean "most compassionate". The Angel of Death was sure one of the most intelligent geneticists, he was sure a despicable human. Jesus was intelligent; his intelligence was driven by his compassion. Very much like Buddha. "Christianity is most certainly backed by rationality and reason?" I'm sure if there was a donkey doo daa drawn in the book, Christians would be worshipping donkeys anyway. There are a lot of "Jesus said", "Buddha said", "Confucius said" throwing around in this world, but they are all dead to really verify all that claims and who-know-whats.
But on the other hand, it's quite convenient [sarcastic].

religion set aside.

yea this wasnt really an episode to jump into community on, kinda one of the weaker ones! but you should check out the episode "modern warfare", that is the best half hour of television of 2010!!

Christianity is most certainly backed by rationality and reason. Some of the most intelligent people that have ever lived, were Christian. Granted there are perversions, but to make a blanket statement like that is . . . illogical.
