    But religion has been used for milleniums as a cover for atrocious actions. At this point, they are not separable. So when is it enough?

    But don’t non-religious dictatorships also commit atrocious actions? In the end a cover is just that: a cover.

      I am not talking about dictatorships only. Religion has been used to cover so many atrocities that it’s impossible to dissociate the actions from the religion itself.

        So was atheism. And ethnicity. And literally anything a bunch of people are willing to believe in.

      Just because people die from heart attacks doesn’t mean cancer does not kill.
