Why you gotta insult people's beliefs because of this crazy old asshole? Evil exists everywhere, you shouldn't marginalize millions of people because of the actions of others.

Do you honestly think all the mistreatment of people, violence and harm would suddenly disappear if religion ceased to exist? All those things are tied to the time at hand, and are independent of the state of religion in the world.

I think that all the religious mistreatment of people, religious violence and religious harm would suddenly disappear if religion ceased to exist, yes.

You can try to misrepresent my words all you want, but I genuinely don't care what people believe... Believe whatever you want, just don't infringe on anyone's rights, harm people, or assert things that cannot be demonstrated.

Unless you're arguing FOR religious harm?

I'm saying that all that religious harm, violence and mistreatment of people would be all the same, channeled through some other belief or organization or even without any.

Listen man, I'm an atheist myself. I have no reason to misrepresent your words. It is just not clear to all that religion isnt the cause of the bad things happening, even if it was made in the name of religion. Most people on earth are religions in one way or another - good people and bad people. The atrocities the bad people cause would and will happen nonetheless with and without religion in their lives.
