Religion is the entire reason anyone goes to war. Take the Quran for example. The entire reason for terrorists attacking countries. Homophobic notions, disrespect for women. All from religion. Problems with same sex marriage when marriage was a law built on the foundation of religion. racism is also an example stemming from religion. Whats the point of making the oath in court if your an atheist I wonder? It's ironic England has almost stopped believing in religion completely, and has acquired more peace and freedom than the United states. Especially since The US was founded while trying to obtain freedom of religion from England. Religion is just a conglomeration of preists and believers who just want to sit on their asses for a living, get high, and accept death.

@pride49 valid point. But is Quran responsible for everything? If we look past, it was the Bible and followers. They had no mercy on who they were waging the war against. It was just dominance.

Nothing in all religious scriptures spoke about same sex marriage! Who is governing it?

@sexysam I meant all reigion really but the most current problems are from the Quran because it's still taken so seriously. All it takes is a priest interpreting the bible a certain way and oh boy it's a big deal now. Did you hear about that noahs ark movie? They wanted to put it in the "Historical" genre. WTF? bullshit

@pride49 Every religion has it's time! If it's something we do not comprehend, it's ok but before we pass judgement, can we look back into the history we were tought and see where we stand?
