I don't mind religion so much as I mind it being used as a defence or an excuse but I have to point out that Christians started the Crusades. Christians burned down the library of Alexandria, started every war the United States has ever been in, 90% of the people in prison in the United States are Christians, invented guns and bombs and Christians stormed the capitol on Jan 6th. Every religion has its horror stories.
All religions teach that they're right and the only true way. All religions are wrong about that, imho, but because people believe it everyone that's not in their specific religious sect is considered a heathen and a threat. When you lose the ability to use reason violence is always the next step.
You wanna try again? Great point by the way. Good conversation. Thank you.
