What Would VMAT2 Do?

The Scotsman reports that Dr. Dean Hamer claims to have isolated a gene - VMAT2 - that predisposes carriers to spirituality.

If this is true, it is our duty as VMAT2-lacking atheists, agnostics and all round unspiritualists to fuck each and every fundamentalist we encounter, so that we might slowly rid the world of this unfortunate evolutionary aberration. (Homosexals may prefer to deposit their sperm or eggs at religion-friendly fertility clinics.)

No matter how vile a prospect this may be - the religous do tend to ming rather - or how tricky you might find it to get a religious person into bed without converting to their faith and marrying them, you must try your best, lest members of the human race be bound forever to theism, pantheism and polytheism.
