Overly-zealous, repressive religious regimes are bad in general, not any specific religion per se.

Western Christainity has just been "detoothed" as it were over the last 200 years, but hyper conservative Islam still dominates the Middle East and I do think it is a big part of the problem.


Yup and you know what they say too much of something is always bad, even more so when it comes to ideology. I mean just look at the hate in this thread alone and people still don't see the big picture.

edit: I believe Hitler was the only facist. The other 2 is definitely communist.

Also just another point of view. China is a communist country a large portion of the population is atheist but they are in an aggressive expansion to claim territories from their neighboring nations. So I doubt being less religious makes for less crimes or war. Its more like having a more mature society and well balanced economy that actually helps in most cases.
