It's not really religion, taken flatly, if we really wanted to get specific. We say "religion" forgetting that we're really only talking about a small handful of religions...and how they've metastasized into something altogether nasty.
When good people can politely claim that you will burn in a fire, it probably can't get any worse than it is. I don;t worry, too much, about the nuts. The nuts are few and far between. The world is -full- of "good people", though. It's not the singular act of devout terrorism that really degrades us and everything around us. It's the daily grinding, the inevitability and inanity of a mundane faith, as currently expressed. That's always on, bringing us down the tiniest notch at any single moment, any particular believer...but the aggregate effect of the mass of faith is nothing if not an aggressive tumor with a smiling face. It's as sweet as applie pie, as unassuming as your granny, and it will absolutely shit on anything and everything that's even remotely decent about us.
