I like your philosophy, but the main problem lies not just in that, but also the creation of... phrase of the day... false dichotomies. People are lazy slash ignorant slash whatever you want to put in, and so rather than actually keep an open mind or think things through, the majority of the population chooses to think in the simplest terms possible. These terms are dichotomous. Most of the supposedly mutually exclusive viewpoints that people have in the world are actually not, people just find it a lot easier to view them that way rather than accept that there is generally a spectrum, and compromises or combinations can be made. I am not necessarily or specifically referring to the God/no God debate though. That is obviously dichotomous.
