I fear that I must agree with Yorick that religion isn't what divides people and brings them to make war upon one another, it's merely the LEADERS who SAY that they're fighting in the name of some religion or another in order to make people feel as though they have to join the battle because of their religion and to be fanatical about it since they feel that their religion is what's being attacked, while they are in fact only fighting for their own good.

Good post Yorick [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]

However..... If there were no religions at all then things might be calmer because there would be less fanatics rallying around the banners of dictators believing that they're fighting for their religion.

On the other hand there might be more wars since people would have no "ten commandments" or other "words of god" telling them not to kill or steal or whatever......
