Totally agreed. I'm just saying that there are other ways one can be irrational, bigoted or inhumane.
Religion isn't the only way to get good people to do evil things but it is, in my opinion, the fastest and surest way to make that happen.
It still needs to be kept on a leash and it should never be given taboo status. Just as with everything else in an open society it must be subject to scrutiny and challenge.
