We should compile a “rationalist Bible” of sorts: a book explaining, in down-to-earth terms, how various irrational or irrationalistic modes of thought and behaviors lead to undesirable things, and denouncing these things as “sinful” or “wrong”; and explaining how various easy-to-do things lead to increased rationality and therefore desirable things, and extolling these things as “virtuous”.
The ideal result is that we have a book that people would live their lives by just as willingly as they live their lives by the Bible, and that people would find just as truthful and wise as the Bible.
And, of course, we should release a series of editions, and, obviously, not claim divine inspiration.
