Open-mindedness
Why genuine open-mindedness does not mean believing in the tooth fairy, WMDs in Iraq, or invisible sky wizards. Although this video specifically addresses non-religious superstition, superstition is superstition, number of believers does not trump evidence, and there is precisely the same amount of evidence for "god" as there is for ghosts, unicorns and clean coal.
Via Pharyngula and JREF:
Stop believing. Start thinking.
And yes, fellow Grammar Nazis, it should be closed-minded, not close-minded.

Why not close-minded as in proximate. Proximate to being too close to evil to be objective.
Or too close-minded to see over the horizon at the end of its nose.
