  Where as Religion is the only reason we have most of the ancient texts we have since the monks copied them, your claim is patently false. In addition to the suffering being exclusively done by People often against the direct instructions of their religion's teachings, perhaps you bias need a bit of fine tuning.

        Religion is not remotely involved in anything a fundamentalist does except as their excuse.

        How does this not apply to literature? Without religion people would still be brutally murdering each other, but they wouldn’t have written anything down without religion? How does that make sense.

    A good reverse example would be the old testament, which speaks openly of killing sodomites, but western cultures are by far the most progressive on gay rights; even the vatican itself is more tolerant than much of the world.

      Can't take a book edited for political reasons literally. Example: the religious prohibition to pork was about Cholera and not an edict from on high.
