[I personally believe that our planet would be absolutely fine without religion, and I also feel we are evolving in that direction,” Brown says. ]

Yeah, were doing “great”.

That way the paradise that is North Korea could cover the entire planet.

"Da Vinci Code" Author Dan Brown: Our Planet Would be "Absolutely Fine" Without Religion

Human beings have proven that they can't exist without religion - those who turn away from established religions like Christianity simply replace them with new religions based on environmentalism or other faith-based belief systems masquerading as political or social movements. And the followers of the new religions tend to be quite fanatical about them.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Our planet would be absolutely fine without Dan Brown, too.

[GreenLanternCorps]

Considering he is the Trope Namer for “Dan Browned” he might just want to shut up.

“Dan Browned - Have you ever picked up a work by a creator who claims (or strongly implies) that his writing is based on through and careful research, only to discover what you are actually holding is a steaming pile of lazy assumptions and outright lies?”

Our world would be even more awesome without the political theocratic nations of Islam or godless Communism.

Next time he has a medical emergency, tell him he CAN’T go to ANY facility that was founded by a Religious Organization, even if they are secular now.

In Boston alone, that would preclude St. Elizabeth’s, The Carney, Beth Israel, New England Deaconess, New England Baptist, and several others.

And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Most Charitable Organizations involved in Disaster Relief were also founded by religious people.

Absolutely FRE...... flowing in the spirit of satan

[mlizzy]

Padre Pio phrased it a bit differently, but hey, what did he know? /sarc

[Jeremiah2911]

We agree.

[nickcarraway]

Gee, he wrote an anti-Christian book, what a surprise.

[Cincinnatus.45-70]

He speaks like a man whose religion is materialistic humanism.

[Empireoftheatom48]

Well bless your heart Mr. Brown. Isn’t that special.

[BookmanTheJanitor]

I’d like Mr Brown to define “fine” and what standards he uses to make that determination.

[SoFloFreeper]

Define religion.

The truth of Jesus Christ is definitely needed.

[TADSLOS]

Says the guy who has made millions fictionalizing a religion.

[CodeToad]

Liberals are without religion or any faith at all (outside of believe stupid crap), so I’ll just stick with the religious crowd that believes there is more to life than man. They just tend to be happier, productive, and good all around people to know.

[americas.best.days...]

Doubt he was so straightforward during the years he was selling the book and the movie rights.

He’s got the money now and can be honest.

[Da Coyote]

So sayeth a mere author.
Betcha he also knows all about climate change (as long as we don’t get near to any math or physics).
