- Subscription to notions without evidence is contrary to the scientific method and thus to knowledge acquisition.
- Subscription to the notion that some sky overlord will someday make everything super cool diminishes the quest for practical solutions by humans. It also diminishes the importance of the real world and promotes acceptance of unhealthy practices and conditions.
- Subscriptions to doctrines whose roots are fear-based rather than optimism-based are not promotive to social cooperation. - etc.
