As an agnostic, I have already stated  that those in the pulpits are weasels; with that admitted bias, I chose to let others comment about them.

However.

Shamans, charlatans, priests, witch doctors, prophets, ministers, Wiccans, followers of Gaea; none of them are anything but parasites on the ignorant and the gullible in my opinion.  

At least if they require or expect their 'believers' to support them in any way shape or form.

H. L Mencken on Religion:

" What should be a civilized man's attitude toward such superstitions? It seems to me that the only attitude possible to him is one of contempt."

"No, there is nothing notably dignified about religious ideas.

"Faith may be defined briefly as an illogical belief in the occurrence of the improbable."
