Does the World Need Religion?

What I care about is if what they're saying has any merit.

Then you should check on that instead of just using them as a direct source. Where are they getting their information from? Does that have any merit? Are they spinning it in any way? It's good to ask questions about sites named "Conservapedia". Heck, it's even great to check up on sites with more credible names.

Try looking into some peer reviewed scientific journals. They at least have others checking up on their legitimacy.

They listed where they were getting their information from. All of the books are listed. I just can't post the link. I don't think one needs a peer reviewed scientific journal to estimate how many lives were taken in specific points in history. That's well documented in books.
