Athiest thought #5

The only thing religion actually teaches is how to blindly follow an ideal.

None of the 'rules to live by' espoused by religion (ten commandments, etc.) are specific to deities or especially to any one deity. They can be arrived at just as well through secular reasoning, thus, they are independent of religion. Therefore, when stripping away all that can be learned either secularly or through sacred means, we are left with only this one fact.
