Oh my. When will this terrible argument cease. This is like me blaming all of Stalin's issues on Atheism. You do realize the majority of relief efforts in the United States are or were started from religious communities? Even if religion were removed, people would still find things to fight and kill over. It's not necessarily about religion, it's about power.
"Daniel broke the kings decree, Peter stepped from the ship to the sea, there was hope for Job like a cut down tree... I hope that there's such hope for me... Blind as I've become, I used to wonder where you were. These days I can't find where You're not. Mine's been a yard carefully surface tended, foxes burrowed underground. Gardening so highly self-recommended, what could I have done but let You down? The sun and the moon, I want to see both worlds as one." -Aaron Weiss, mewithoutYou
