Without religion the world would probably be a more peaceful place.
Venezuela?
Chinese Uyghurs*?
Criticise me if you like... They all bleat on about “one true god”
Bit ignorant to assume all religion follows the Judeo-Christian tradition.
*although I guess if they weren't Muslim in the first place there wouldn't have been an issue, so you're probably right, it's their fault.

Seems like a good time for a dredge...
I’m not a great fan of any form of religion - they’re nothing more than sanctioned cults. Historically they’re all as bad as each other and they’ve ALL done some seriously nasty stuff down the centuries: Persecution seems to be a popular one - of other religions, of sexuality or of skin colour. If you ask me, religion breeds hatred and war. Look at pretty much any war/conflict, and on at least one side is a madman spewing out self-righteous bile with a side serving of being backed by a religion. Without religion the world would probably be a more peaceful place.
Criticise me if you like, but if you have a faith that you follow then that’s your look out and I respect that, but when it comes down to it the similarities between all the religions are so slight that it really looks like their differences are down to translation and interpretation. The same figures crop up in each, but under different names, so they’re pretty much one in the same. They all bleat on about “one true god” because they’re all following the same concept of what god is - they’ve just tooled god to fit their needs.
The only exception to this rule are scientologists - they’re just arseholes
