Cool. So, thousands of eye-witness accounts, the miracles performed and all the corroborating evidence written down and recorded thousands of years ago has been relegated to a mere fairy tale? It makes a ton of sense, right? "Duh....Dum....If I didn't see it, I guess it couldn't have really happened, George."

So, before the Europeans arrived in this country, I guess man is free to deny anything that happened prior to them settling. You could probably question the validity of slavery being as bad as it was, and make another claim that the holocaust was an elaborate hoax made up by a Jewish, liberal media trying to "push their own agenda". Wait, there are radicals who actually DO make claims like that.

Carry on.

That's not the point. Statistically speaking, PEOPLE without strong religious beliefs didn't exist until the late 1800's. Even now, the number worldwide barely rates. It'll be hundreds to thousands of years before a mathematically tenable nonreligious society can be evaluated.
