Stuart Davis nails this one beautifully:
I know Bill Maher thinks Pat Robertson is an idiot. So do I. But not because he’s Christian. I think Pat Robertson is an idiot because he’s a developmentally arrested person. And he expresses his retardation through the vehicle of religion. But he would not be at any higher level of development if he was an atheist. He would just acquire different furniture for his arrested mind. If we investigate Christianity more closely, we discover its developmental depths. The deeper we go into any spiritual tradition, the more we will find it anchored in direct experience and immediate data, and the less we find it identified with dogma and belief.
