Atheist quip argues comparing religions exposes their flaws
Original: Theists: Study one # religion and you'll spend a lifetime studying. Study two and you'll be done within an hour. _______
An aphorism circulating online teases believers: study one religion deeply and it takes a lifetime, but study two and the comparison finishes in an hour. The line, tagged for atheism and faith, suggests that viewing any faith from the outside dissolves its claim to uniqueness. It has struck a chord with secular readers who see comparative religion as a shortcut to skepticism.
Why now: The witty framing of comparative religion as an argument for atheism is resonating with secular audiences.
