This is one of the most tragic misconceptions about religion: that it should be disregarded because of the troubles it causes.

I don't mean to personally clash with your views, but I find it takes a substantial amount of faith to not believe in a higher power of some sort. Given the profound complicity of how life exists and supports itself in an ocean of nothingness. Ironically, I think science is the best proof there is that religion has a "method to the madness", if you will.

But I'm just one guy. And I will say that while you might not believe in God, we must certainly see eye-to-eye on the savagery of human nature. I would conclude that most brutality in the name of God is done more-so in the defense of culture, rather than actually living out the doctrine of religion.
