I agree. Even if there was no religion, other institutions would take its place and we would still see the same problems again of greed, propaganda, power being held by a few people. Just look at capitalism and how many atheists (and non-atheists) were touting it.

I think if so many people werent dying of poverty in the world, people wouldnt be as drawn to religious extremism. If anything, religious extremism is a symptom of an uneven distribution of wealth, especally in the Middle East, where fundamentalism sprang up bigtime after the colonial era. People who are ravaged by military occupation and have little to eat and feel like their voices arent being heard in a totalitarian governmenmt will more likely become extremists.

Ireland for 1 (sorry people of the USA you might not no what im on about) Christian and protestants have been blowing the shit out of each other for decades. There is alot of religious hatred people just dislike people just cause they are from a different religion i think thats kinda bad cause isnt most religions meant to love everyone? Other examples Islamic wars, holy wars, trying to think of Rating: 5
