...and the heated conversations that follow. The truth is all organised religions have turned shallow. Divinity comes from within. Peace and tolerance are it's starting points. Let's learn to be humans first before we start defending the Divine.
PS : the picture is a representation of all organised religions, and not for a specific few.

I get your point and I do agree with the sentiment but I also see religion being an extention of the individual following it. If you're angry, your religion is angry, if your resentful, your religion is resentful.
I also don't feel like there's any need to discuss religion with anyone but perhaps close friends/ family or when the time calls for it in context because 1) It's personal to you and 2) It's seen and used as a divisive tool and people can no longer discern between existing with personal faith and imposing it on others. Both religious and non-religious.
@NickiHijab I wish I could like this more than once. This is absolutely it.
If you look at conflict zones in the world, the conflicts are always about territory, power, money, the usual stuff. Whether or not the conflicts have a religious nature depends on how religious that area is.
Subject any part of the world to the same pressure west Asia has been put under, and you're going to create a lot of internecine strife and horrific acts of human cruelty. If they were all atheists then we'd be talking about atheist terrorism.
Religion isn't meaningless of course, but human motivations are human motivations.
