These handcuffs are a metaphor for how religion binds the human race and restricts our rate of progress.

No exactly. I'm trying to piont out the FLAWS of religion here, and how it stops us from grwing as a race.

but whose to say were not growing as a race?

i mean in every idea, whether religion, political, economic, social, even philosphical there is a positive and a negative. a ying and a yang. evil and good. what not

thats why i find these "religion bad" discussions moot and all it creates is a lot of tension and fighting, and THAT is why we stop growing as a race. NOT because of religion, or secularism, its the schism between religions, and schisms between secular ideals, and against each other.

the more time we spend fighting each other the less we grow as a race.

You raise a multitude of good points, and as such I feel it is my duty to imform you that I made my three anti relgious pictures as part of a school assignment for a Marxist crest (I chose Karl Marx, my school isn't facist). These images took about five minutes a piece and absolutly no thought. did them in the period it was due, and someone told me to put them on Deviantart. No in colcluion, you are right, it is the schisms, not religion as a whole, and while I disagree with most modern relgious ideals, I hope for a world where we can all live in harmony.

P.S. Not entirly sure what constitutes growth, but hopfully our world will experiance it.

It could use better photoshopping, but its still a creative way to point out the point.
