And why not "ideology" or "thoughts" or "desires". They're all present and play a part in the terrorists motives.
If anything, the TYPE of religion is the issue: what is believed. Not "religion" or having beliefs per se.
I mean otherwise what is everyone to do? Mutely walk around not believing anything? Just robots without frontal lobes?
Everyone has a worldview. Everyone has faith in something, even if it's faith that their doubts are more true than anything else.
PS. Oh, and people love to point the finger at religion when a few muslims kill 80 people, but ignore the 180 million Muslims in Indonesia just getting on with their lives, having kids loving each other and trying to survive in peace. Is religion to blame for all the good stuff too, all the purpose and life it gives people? Or just the bad stuff when some people commit atrocities in a religions name?
