Every religion thinks they are right and causes division. It has actually killed people. For example, Jehovah Witnesses dont take blood transfusion even in it means taking there own life. If you leave the Muslim religion, you are liable to be killed. Many churches are basically robbing people of money. People are suicidal by some of these religions. Arabs terrorizing the U.S. based on beliefs. People are putting faith over logic. It's getting worse and worse.

If it's getting worse and worse, then religion can't be the cause because. Secularization is increasing at the same time.

Religious involvement is at a pretty significant low, especially in the West.

Now, Scruffy believes people are putting emotion over logic and that is another issue.

I was talking to OP, who seems to not understand history, which would require being clear in a comment related to history.


I appreciate your concern for my interactions with other posters though.

Ideology has never killed a single person....people kill people...not ideas. It is their choice to kill in the name of their beliefs.

We are living in the greatest period of human history and religion is at an all time low.

Your entire OP is retarded.

I don't really see the world in a downfall. I understand how it is easy to think that, but that is the result of social media and in general, the 24 hr reporting of news.

Compared to the past, I think there is more acceptance of other people than ever before, however; religion does create another division. Just like race or sex, people hate people if they are a certain religion. But that is just a natural instinct I guess, but I think more and more people will get away from that mindset, with that said, I don't know if it will ever go away..

I am not saying its all sunshine and perfectness, obviously that's not the case, but it's not that bad either. The thing I learned about life is that more times than not, the law of average plays a factor. Reality is always somewhere in the middle.

In the last 100 years, governments have done a lot worse.

Stalinist Russia: estimates up to 20 million

Maoist china: Chinese records estimate around 45 million

Communist Cambodia: up to 1.8 million

Nazi Germany: 12 million with around 6 million being Jews

And one thing the majority of these regimes have in common; they were not done in the name of any religion etc.
