Should we base the future development and creation of all road vehicles based on the crash performance of the Pinto?
It does tend to take the blush off the rose when one finds stories of tragedy associated with multiple religions, from the horrors of Christianity in Africa, to the oppressive effects of Hinduism in India, to the bigoted outrages occurring in Myanmar. Call it an induction.
Roses have thorns. Religion has both built and destroyed civilization. The early city states that began to unify humanity used religion to do so. For better or worse.
What I'm saying is, humanity will never be rid of religion and the fight against it is never ending. To continue fighting against it is futile in the extreme. It cannot be stopped, BUT, as we've seen time and time again, it can be steered to the benefit of humans or it's detriment.
