While most of the vegetarians are likely to disagree in a large number of circumstances with Hitler: they all remain vegetarians
But surely you agree that religion is VERY different to political parties, social groups, teams.
None of the others proclaim to have truths about the universe (accompanied by no evidence) and our existence that no-one else has, and that we should join them to be saved. They also don’t proclaim to understand our existence and the source of our morality.
Religion isn’t just a social club. It is a whole way of thinking, a manner of living one’s life and bringing up their children etc …

Christianity has more than 22,000+ denominations full of people thinking they have the truth about the world, and that they are right!
Isn’t this affirmation that religion is a purely man-made instrument designed to satisfying our desires and wants?
