Jew/Muslim are religions NOT A RACE

[abaris]

I think once you read Dawkins and Stenger and Hitchens and Harris it becomes clear that religion causes more problems than it solves. And again, it isn't that you can completely rid the world of it, but our species would do far better if we would stop claiming it isn't the cause of human divisions.

You don't need Dawkins, Stenger or Harris to know that religion causes problems. It's not rocket science. But to reduce every problem to religion is a tad too simplistic for my tastes, since in most cases it misses the mark by a mile. Even if you were to rid the world of religion, you wouldn't be even one step further in advancing the human species. People would just look for the next game in town and give it some ideological meaning to feel exclusive towards other groups.

We already been there in the past century and as long as there isn't a threat for humanity as a whole, we will never be at peace with each other.
