This is what makes me laugh. People go on like religion is such a blessing for people in poor countries. Like, what would they do without religion? Religion gives people in the third world hope!
Bullshit to the highest degree. Religion effectively does what it always has done, it keeps the populace for the large part dumb and suppressed. How many times do we hear of religious clashes in third world countries, terrorist groups sprouting up all the time founded on religious doctrines.
Oh but they do charity work? Yeah, they fucking should do. Most of the mess they're cleaning up is caused by religion in the first place.
Isn't it also true Hamas does a lot of charity work? Does that make them a valuable asset to the world?
