Anonymous2: @Anonymous: There's a number of people throughout history, who think we might be! There was even a episode where Stewie and Brian went into an alternative universe where, without Christianity, the present had cures for most of humanity's problem! I realize it was a fantasy/cartoon, but, it was a fa t that throughout history, individuals have been stigmatized, ridiculed, beaten, tortured, and, even killed, merely because of religion! The stuff done because, My eligion says so!", is even more heinous, with children being turned into human bombs, even today!
Anonymous3: @Anonymous: funny thing that, people have committed plenty of atrocities without religion! Look at every Socialist country in History! Hitler (National socialist) himself killed over 10.5 million (6.5 million jews), Stalin (Stalinist Communist) had killed anywhere from 25-50 million, and if you count the remaining socialist governments, over 100 million lost their lives to a non religious government. Taking away religion won't stop violence, and the majority of religious people are non violent.
People have a way of using anything to justify violence.
Anonymous4: Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
