Forgot the footnote:

[1] Irrational is not necessarily bad. Love at first sight, the awesomeness 
of the Hubble Space Telescope, and the cuteness of a kitten are all 
irrational. Religion is irrational to the extent that it teaches to shun 
evidence in favor of faith without evidence. That doesn't make it bad per 
se, any more than preferring cabbage over broccoli is bad per se.
