Carl Sagan Warned Us About Religion — And We Ignored Him [ Carl Sagan was very much a HUMANIST atheist ]

Carl Sagan was more a HUMANIST atheist, not at all in the same league as the New Atheist Cult evangelists today. I recall Sagan -very much on the Left-smuggling a copy of Leon Trotsky's " History of the Russian Revolution " into that country after the collapse of " officially atheist " Stalinism . Carl Sagan was famous for warning the world about the danger of nuclear weapons - NOT about religion. What does LOGIC , History , and Critical Thinking say about global capitalism , American imperialism , and Israeli Zionism ? Do they pass Carl Sagan 's test of the real and rational ?
