I specifically said that without religion people can still fight over another ideology. Another ideology can create just as much conflict as religion without being religious based. You are essentially arguing my points.
Did you seriously not read anything I wrote bro?
You said:
Quote:People kill each other for many reasons and religion is not exactly one of the major ones.
I said:
Quote: the very fact that much of this was allowed to happen was because of the monopoly and control that religion had in the first place. You're kidding yourself if you think religion isn't used as a political tool. Muslims could become communist party members in the USSR but Orthodox christians could not. If this were down to a purely 'secular' ideology, do you think this would be the case?
You seemed to be suggesting that religion plays as minimal part in political ideologies as atheism does. That's what I'm calling bullshit on.
I never addressed the role of religion in politics at all. I just merely said that you can have non religious ideologues to fight over and Socialist Revolution is one such example that has had violence on it.
