That's not exactly what Voltaire said:
Quote: “If you have two religions in your land, the two will cut each other’s throats; but if you have thirty religions, they will dwell in peace”

Or, y'know, just remove religion from the equation. Level playing field for all and nobody being able to get away with bullshit because everyone else will be too skeptical to fall for that crap.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
