True, but Hades is also a name for the Greek underworld.

No one should be suprised that atheism is growing. All around the world God is systematically being eradicated from all elements of any culture. How many history channel programs tear into the Bible? Have you ever seen anything disputing the origan of species? Its out there you have seek it out though collages, high schools and television certainly won't make it readily make available like they do for religous attacks, and that is what they are.

Huh? You think programs on history and evolution are attacks on religion? Why do you think that?

That's cute, yes I do if you haven't seen the shows I'm talking about more power to ya. I'm not talking history in general Although I've seen them hose that as well but I think you know what I'm talking about. Imagine some one made a show about you only from the point of view of your angree neighbor that didn't like you, and then they made antempt to seem balanced by asking any random psychologist what they thought of you for a profesional opinion. Would you the subject respect there view as an honest opinion?

I will reiterate what Alpha8207 stated and add that it is not education that determines a person’s belief in God rather it is pride. While education may lead to one’s pride in self it is not the certainty that some would like to believe..

I think it is laughable that many Atheists think that those who believe in God are uneducated and unable to think critically while they themselves make statements like supermike concerning ten influential people in history.

So, now are you are saying that historians and scientists are angry about something, dishonest and have some sort of hidden agenda?

Actually except for Lincoln and Galileo, they were.
