"Post-religion anti-indoctrination memetic inoculation"

Those words all make sense in my head, but not really together. I really don't understand the anti-religious dogma, I think that there is a gradient in the beliefs of religious people and while there are definitely some reactionary elements, I don't think people who are "anti-progress" are united by religion.

Anyway, global average makes a great deal more sense, and I'd be willing to believe it'd work, but have my doubts on how fast most modern nations are willing to transform themselves into seas of highly educated citizenry. (Not to mention its hardly known at this point what the "best" education method is, so I'd imagine even such a fundamental retooling would involve lots of split testing at first ;))



Post Religion anti indoctrination memetic innoculation is Kids saying:

Jesus Christ is maybe the son of god. Allah is God, maybe, and maybe mohommed was his prophet. Maybe you should kill Buddha on the path if you meet him. Maybe the world will change in 2012. Maybe the pope is the rock Christ built his church on. Maybe there is no God. Maybe earth has a soul and we are all parts of it as our neurons are parts of our brain. Maybe there was a virgin birth.

And then learning how to repeat any word the same way they chant "Allah" or "ohm" and get the same neurological effect.
