First, a disclaimer: Yes, I use some words in this post that are considered derogatory in modern world culture. However, it is in the interest of a rational analysis of the topic. If that is deemed unacceptable, I will remove it. Now, for the topic. Old English came into usage around 450 AD, and became modern English evolved from that time up until about 1450 AD- 1000 years where the Catholic church dominated Europe. This must have had a very large effect. First, I point you to the definition "To come into existence". This concept is not very well covered in the English language. One may use the word Born, however, that is more poetic then accurate. The only other word I can think of is created- And this begs the question "Created by whom?". The general answer to this is, of course, the christian god. That is a subtle, most likely subconscious, reminder or hint. Then there are the curses/offensive words which are nevertheless used often. Words such as hell, which connote the worst place imaginable, such as 'go to hell'. That hell is a judeo-christian concept is a more overt reinforcement. That the verb 'to fuck' is a 'bad word' is also indicative of the origins of this language. Sexual intercourse is generally viewed as bad by religion, and its use as an insult/expelative goes rather a long way to confirming that it is bad. One might say 'sinful'. And the way that the human mind works is that when one thing that is posited from a source is thought of as true, it casts a shade of veracity on everything else that source says. There are many more examples, which I can't think of at the moment or don't want to bore you by being overly pedantic. I think that fixing the quirks and logical pitfalls of the English language would do more to end religion than parents not pushing religion on their kids, or even freedom of (non)religion. I'm not saying that this is anyone's fault, per se, more that it is a cultural inhibition that stops us from growing. It is undoubtably present in every language, except maybe Lojban, but I really only know English well enough to comment. To give an idea to those who know latin, try talking about the internet, or computers, to give an example on the difficulties.
Hello? Do you think religion would be as prevalent if we all knew lojban? I often find theists escaping through cracks in the English language. BTW, word for to come to exist-> Excambe (Excahmb) reflects the french roots.
