(Interview with Bangladeshi writer Taslima Nasreen)

What can be done to make people understand that religion can't be destroyed, ruined or harmed by its cinematic portrayal?

Since childhood, people should learn about free thoughts and tolerance. Education helps. Cinematic portrayal may not destroy religion, but there are hundreds of reasons behind the death of many ancient religions. Existing religions will become extinct someday.

You recently tweeted, "We created a society where illiterate mullahs decide which books we shouldn't read,& uncultured babas decide which films we should not watch". Don't you think we are caught in a situation for which we alone are responsible? So we shouldn't blame others, right?

We should blame ourselves for the mistake of making a system that encourages irrational faith-heads to grow. Building religious schools and allowing indoctrination of children with religious principles are wrong, because these may create monsters who would not accept any rational thoughts, and rather grow up to prefer fanaticism to secularism, barbarism to humanism, tradition to innovation, past to future. We should use science and education to fight superstitions.

Sounds like a New Atheist! The horror!
