Like I said, I wasn't trying to insinuate that it's only religious belief that gets used as an excuse for violent acts. I've seen the Dachau camp the Nazis used as a template for all their camps as well as the killing fields left by the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. It doesn't need to be religious belief for violence to occur (the human race can be depressingly sick at times). All I'm saying is that religion is one of the more powerful belief systems and also the easiest to manipulate people with. |
And I agree, I'm just trying to say that it's idealistic ideologies that cause this, not exclusively religion. I know we agree, I just want to dot the I's.
