At this point, I think it is evident that AS's posts follow a predictable pattern:
“We can therefore express the major elements in the New Atheists’ agenda as follows: Religion is a dangerous delusion: it leads to violence and war. We must therefore get rid of religion: science will achieve that. We do not need God to be good: atheism can provide a perfectly adequate base for ethics.” ― John C. Lennox, Gunning for God
Of course you're missing the fact that most everything claimed in that statement is true.
I take issue with two points:
I would clarify that religion CAN be a dangerous delusion, but not necessarily always.
I highly doubt science/facts/truth will ever 'get rid of religion'. Religion is based on emotional need and the confirmation bias that accompanies it is immune to facts.
"If the cure for ignorance were simply a dose of the truth We could eradicate the disease of the elderly and inoculate our youth"
It ain't what you don't know that makes you an idiot...it's what you know for certain, that just ain't so...
Most people don't want to believe the truth~they want the truth to be what they believe.
