They even got the whole bad science thing going for them too. What's the sexual disease epidemic of the day? AIDS? Oh sure, circumcision will certainly prevent that. What's that? A lot of older guys get prostate cancer too? If only they had gotten circumcised...

Yep, ancient belief systems tend to be full of bad/outdated ideas, but you don't need religion's help to come up with bad ideas - sitting on your ass and staring at a computer screen all day in exchange for a paycheck can make you obese and send you to an early grave, but we do it anyway. Bad ideas can be found everywhere in the human experience... So can good ideas (the whole "treat others as you wish to be treated" can't be quantified, but it tends to work out pretty well for the most part when applied properly - science doesn't cover everything...)
