It would have been great if the vid included the millions of people killed due to the spread of those religions.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

(it's a link to a vid, I'd just post the vid but can't seem to get it to paste straight in here)
You can't paste it here because it's divided into fragments stored on in different locations throughout the server which the media player of the website puts together when you click "play". That method is used to prevent theft and copying to other sites. SVT (Sverige Television) uses that method which made me mad when I wanted to record YOHIO on Melodifestivalen 2014.
That map reminds me of the way the T-virus was spreading after the break out in Racoon City. And in its essence religion IS a deadly virus.
Laziness is the engine of progress.

It's too bad there wasn't a quarantine put in place.
