Here's an interesting article on the science of morality. It only mentions religion when talking about shunning like excommunication.

Bosnian Genocide -> 95% of the country believed in christ 80k muslims murdered
Rwanda Genocide -> christian Tutsis murder 100k christian Hutu christian Hutu murder 1million christian Tutsis
Holocaust -> 94% of the country believed in christ 17million murdered
Crusades -> christians murder 100million for blasphemy
African Slavery ->95% of slavers were christian 60million murdered
Spanish Conversion -> christian conquistadors bring plague and war 100million murdered
The thing I find so disgusting is that you apply your deity to my morals, you couldn't be taking away my individuality in a more insulting way considering the terrible things that this belief has perpetrated on humanity. If your god can not take responsibility then his believers shall bear the burden, you should be ashamed of yourself, honestly.

Quote:Yugoslavia is the great modern example of manipulating tribal sentiments to create mass murder," says Jonathan Haidt, associate professor of psychology at the University of Virginia. "You saw it in Rwanda and Nazi Germany too. In most cases of genocide, you have a moral entrepreneur who exploits tribalism for evil purposes."
