None, all religion has done is spawn death and suffering on a grand scale.

You are wrong. The people are the ones who spawn death. (Unless a certain Religion directly tells people to kill one another for some dumb reason.)

The thing is if religion never exsisted man would still kill and go to war because they are human. Greed for land and envy, the need for vengeance, wealth & power.

When you dig deep enough for the causes of most (if not every) war you will find religion has little to do with it but instead is used as the basis of it. It was and remains for some the ultimate motivator.

From the crusades which had more to do with the Byzantine and the Turks, and a land grab for Jerusalem to gain power and get one over the enemy to Iraq and Afganistan.

Northern ireland is a great example of religion picks up the blame. How two groups of people (one wanting independence, the other don't) came to be protrayed mainly as protestants vs catholics is beyond me.

OT: You cannot be serious Jay. What answers do you seriously expect? The muslim will say islam, the jew judiasm, the christian christianity etc.,

What is there to be gain from asking this question? If 25% say islam, 25% say christianity and 50% say hinduism will you become a hindu?

I am agnostic BTW.

Thank you for explaining that in more detail.
