For a start, who sanctioned most of this.. The pope
Second of all yet again I will point out this was an argument against religion.. as in any group of people united under a doctrine. I feel that the excuse that their 'religion' gives these people is one of the strongest arguments against organised religion out there. Although I will take on board Aerzia Saerules Arktuos's point here that bad things are done by bad people not the banner they run under.. However, perhaps these people would not have found the widespread support they did were it not for such a banner. Also, religion can sometimes be involved for different reasons, regardless of say...hitler being religious or not, he targeted (albeit a race also) but the religion of judaism.. Would they have been such an easy target for him had there not been a belief difference, and therefore an inherent suspicion of the age to target upon?
