Yes. You know I know what you mean.
I was watching CNN a few minutes ago and here is what I found:
https://edition.cnn.com/2024/03/08/middl...index.html
73% of Israelis are opposed to the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Gaza strip. That 3/4th of an entire “civilized” nation.
1) I don’t think this is normal
2) Yes: I think the world would be better place if there was no religion: Atheists do want another group of atheist to starve to death. Religious people do that.
This being said: On a personal level, I am still critical of these ego-centered religious approaches because I believe that at the beginning all religions have started as teachings and guidelines for individual improvement. So that’s my only argument here.
My view is that some of us are getting better while the other group is diving into deeper levels of insanity. Because of that I see it as my duty to remind everyone that those who are crossing a new limit of the extreme in their “religious” approach are actually people who are doing something that is defined in the Quran as “cruelty toward your own self”.
As I said before: I believe that this debate has to happen between theists all over the world. Since the percentage of atheists in the world is only 7 % (and only about 30 % in America), I think that the remaining part must begin to learn how to do things without leaning toward total insanity

To me there is a “righteous path” (there is one in every religion), there is a middle path: that’s where most theists are, their approach is more dogmatic, more ritualistic and more repetitive. These are still not bad people, but as in the example above, they are easily manipulated (because their approach is less participative and more mechanical in nature), finally there is the “wrong path”. At that level people become continuously harmful to themselves and to the rest of the world.
I believe that this third category of religious people should not exist anymore
