Last week I submitted the first version of that image which got a bit of notice under the headline "When People Ask Why I Have a Problem With Religion, It's Hard to Come Up With a Single Answer." I got a lot of reaction, people requested an editable version, a PDF version, and so forth. This is my attempt to address all those requests. This new version addresses some of the comments and critiques to hopefully make the image more effective, devastating in its message, and clear and cohesive.
I've created a Facebook Group called "What's Wrong With Religion?" that will let anyone add their own news articles and photos just like the image and hopefully create an ongoing collaborative effort to keep chronicling these issues.
As part of that page, I've compiled a List of Rebuttals to Common Complaints from Religious Peoplethat will address the most basic ones I saw listed repeatedly in the comments here. If you share the image to a religious person, those comments are the most likely ones you'll see in response so that can probably save a lot of time as well just sending them that link instead of typing out the same argument repeatedly. I'm sure there are some I missed, but those seemed to be the most common ones.
I've uploaded a PDF version of the new image to make it freely available to download. I've also added an original PSD file editable version for anyone who wants to use that. I think this one should be editable and modifiable for those who want to do that. Hell, this could even be handy even for religious believers who want to take my image and add in rebuttals to all the news stories included. Hooray for open source free thinking.
What's new in this "A Problem With Religion" image version?
- I made the image wider so I was able to fit more into it this time. Sadly there was plenty more material of horrendous acts committed in the name of religion to add.
- I tweaked some of the images and replaced a few that were unclear, such as adding additional news articles on topics to explain why they were included.
- I added a lot of new sections such as pastors around America committing sex acts against children which unfortunately is all too terribly common.
- The larger size should make for a much easier reading experience.
- Changed the font color at the top so you can tell the difference between this new version and the smaller original.
Thanks /r/atheism/ for the ongoing adventure with discussing the challenges and issues that religion creates for humanity. Let
