Well, as Christian, I point out that you have no more proof for your point of view than I have for mine.Also, that people have done just fine at hating and persecuting each other without the influence of religion (familiar with the history of communist countries at all?).  That is a human urge, and one we have to overcome if we're to make any sort of progress.The seat of the problem isn't religion, which can also be a civilizing influence (you have problems perhaps with the idea of forgiving others or caring for the poor?). The problem is that too many people take time from their busy days to intimidate, abuse, be rude and thoughtless to, take advantage of other people.So, no, not right.  There is nonsense in plenty, but that is not necessarily where it is.</blockquote>
