Ragu inacan "Religion" isn't the reason for this problem. A specific religion's specific custom is the problem. The US not allowing prayer time in schools is not what prevents this from happening here. The fact that the primary religion in the US - which has had major influences in the government - doesn't require people to throw dead bodies in a river, is the main factor. Also, having an EPA to keep municipalities and corporations from dumping raw sewage and untreated industrial waste into our waterways tends to help a lot. India doesn't put health or the environment ahead of anything. That is why this is happening. The US has plenty of room to do better but it's not because of "religion." It's mostly because of corporate and political greed.

Ragu inacan Get any further out into left field and we won't be able to see you. Try keeping up with the conversation. I didn't say that greed and politics don't apply to religion. The reason I didn't say anything about that is because it is completely irrelevant to my argument. Either try harder or save yourself the keystrokes by not replying at all.
