sowell calls the collective knowledge of people the ‘wisdom of the ages’ - i’d like to see a comparison of the success and achievements of countries centered around different religions and atheism - seems we have done well historically - maybe we should stick with it

I have something that I often say -

in order to be a leftist, you not only have to believe that you are wiser than anyone who ever lived
(rejecting traditional values, endorsing socialism which has never worked because you think you can do it right)

you have to believe yourself wiser than God Himself
(rejection of Biblical truth)

This applies to atheists as well.
