This notion makes for a good bumper-sticker slogan but is unprovable. There are always plenty of traditionalists, tribalists, and cultists of all fabrics and stripes–not just religionists–who fight and obstruct our efforts to broaden human awareness and expand our capacity to include, not exclude.

  While I appreciate the possibility of an oversimplification of the many “who fight and obstruct our efforts to broaden human awareness and expand our capacity,” I can’t imagine downplaying the notorious history of the Catholic Church with a bumper sticker.
