Great article.

If we really consider the many vague and contradicting passages, the distant culture in which they were written, and the lack of evidence that a single word was actually divinely inspired, it isn’t clear that the Judeo-Christian scriptures are a good starting point for any serious moral conversation. Instead of deferring repeatedly to an increasingly irrelevant book, why don’t we look directly at the world around us and try to comprehend it for what it is?
