Carl Sagan warned us about religion and we ignored him [ Carl Sagan's rejection of FAITH was polite in the spirit of classic HUMANISM - not obnoxious like the New Atheism Cult ]

If he were alive today , the left wing oriented scientist Carl Sagan would be warning us about the danger of nuclear war and global warming , but also about the evil irrationality of global capitalism , American imperialism , and Israeli Zionism. He did smuggle a copy of Leon Trotsky's " History of the Russian Revolution " into post-communist Russia. Unlike the New Atheism Cult , Sagan's rejection of Faith was polite in the spirit of classic HUMANISM , not obnoxious like the New Atheism Cult .
