  5.  @robertoriggi6762  You ask that I do research as if you assume I haven’t. I do not consider scriptures research, so please don’t go there. The bloodiest time? No. Not at all, that is an incorrect and misleading statement being used to justify your position. The only difference is scale. Technology and population growth mean that larger numbers will be affected by a wider reach, but that is just scale, and these conflicts are all based around religion regardless. Humans have always used religion as a means to be horrible to each other, but in the past, weren’t as mobile. Meaning they conquered local territories, using religion as a control mechanism, instilling fear and subjectivity through torture, murder, genocide, slavery and threat of eternal damnation. Most people within reach of the conquering force would share similar ideals to those forced upon them by the religion of the region from which it came, but when you can go from continent to continent with ease, the ideals differ greatly, causing conflict.. religious conflict. Now instead of the scale being two warring tribes, it is two warring nations. Instead of a war leaving thousands dead, it’s now millions, but this is due to 9 billion inhabitants with global reach, instead of small armies with horses. Every war in human history has been religion based. Religion is violence, hatred, division, judgement, and now that violent creature has the means to hurt people on a far bigger scale. You can’t show me a single shred of proof that god exists, I can show you an entire human history of horrors being committed by those who claim he does. Atheists aren’t the problem, mate. Religion is intrinsically violent, and riddled with hatred. It was a control mechanism used to stop people from doing what leaders didn’t want, by using fear of the unknown. As far as use, it has been replaced with government and now just causes harm. World hunger could be solved using the tax breaks that organised religion receives in the USA annually.. just the tax breaks, not the profits. It’s a hard sell to say religion cares about life knowing that.
