Have you ever heard the expression, "practice what you preach"  They have never learned that.\nMost religion is a puppet of the country that it lives in and rulers like to cause war because they are greedy.\nThey find something wrong with some country, sees them as a threat.  That gets people stirrred up.  Then the leaders say let's takem.  They are going to fight, their familys don't go to fight.  But, when the battle is over and they have what they want.  Their happy and tell the people you saved the world, so their happy.  In other words people are real stupid and let religion be used by the government as a tool for war.  If they would study history.

as long as people have differences (racial, religious, ethnic), there will be conflicts and there will be war.  Human nature is that we form "in" groups and "out" groups.  by forming outgroups, we alienate others, and while we may not know that we are alienating other, others will realize that there are inequalities, and will rise up/ create other conflicts.  Religion plays a huge role in determining the fate of a nation, as as the socialists put it-"religion is the opiate of the peoples"-it lets the people escape the realities of present life.  religion fits the ingroup/outgroup idea well, as others outside of your religion are not only socially different from you, but religious ideas told to one group such as others going to gell, or that others are not following God, create ocnflict with other groups.  Ethnic differences occur in countries where opression occurs due to incorrect boundaries to begin with, most socially incorrect boundaries were due to western domination, but that's a different story.  what's important is that a minority is opressed and they feel that they should rise up, causing conflict.  in sum, as long as we cannot accept others, there will be war.

I've often asked the same question. I suppose religion feeds our sense of spirituality and gives us "answers" to what happens to us after we die. But I think religion has caused, and will continue to cause, wars and other trouble. People should try setting aside their differences in religion and just work together. Besides, I think that religion is personal. It's what you personally believe. And atheists don't cause hatred, the term simply means they do not believe in any god whatsoever, that when you die, that's it. And I dislike those who always try to convert others. Just let people make up their own idea.

hasn't  the Christians been trying to prove that by any means possible? that's why they have wars, that's why people get killed. every-body's religion is the only one. at least to certain individuals who will stop at nothing to make sure that others will follow their ways. all religions have one purpose and that is to control the masses. I have said for years that religion is for people that cannot think for themselves. it's for people that need to be led.

This is a question where you need to have deep understanding of the religion knowledge. Let me eloborate every religion teaches the same basic thing respect humanity. Only the religion of Satan teaches cruelty an abuse of humans. The books that were sent down (as is said) what do they teach "HUMANITY IS IN RESPECTING HUMANS" you are supposed to say it why is that this world is coming towards violence is that some people and some organizations need more control than they could handle. The war in Iraq what has it brought to the world hundreds are killed they may be Muslims Christans Jews Hindus or many other religious belief holders. It is immportant that we should respect each others belifs and religions.

Nah.  I tend to question any links between God and any religious organization that relies heavily on violent means to an end.  To me, if the basis for any religion is not the promotion of world peace, harmonious existence, and peace with nature, the religion is not a true reflection of God's will.

It threatens the churches belief systems so they have to stress that it is a work of fiction.  Religious people don't like their religions threatened.  Just look how many wars have come about as a result of religion.

people dont h8 on the ground of religion.  it is simply that certain individuals who enjoy hating others on the ground of difference use religion as a vehicle for their hate.  even if there were no religions, these individuals would find another vehicle to express their hate.\n\nconversely,there are a lot of religious/spiritual people who use their beliefs to promote love and tolerance of difference in others, and they remember that we are arl human, each of us with an equal right to an opinion.  truly religious folk make an effort to make life better for humanity and arl living things.  if there is a god of love, am sure he wants us to look after his creation, and not be divisive for the sake of it.

they don't.  countries fight over power, over money, and over resources.  those who direct the fighting, who actually cause the wars, don't care about religion.  religion is just a convenient excuse for them to stir up hate and bigotry, which NO religion condones.

Chrisitianity teaches us to love our enemies so that we can be examples of Christ. We as christians do not force our believes on other people. Some groups in the past tried to corrupt our image, for example the crusaders and catholic sects which cast shadows of violence and terrorism by forcefully "converting" non-belivers, jews to the religion. These people took the bible out of context and did not follow true christian principles. Jesus is Love, Peace, Joy and our Redeemer.\nBe Prepared.

gr8 question, gr8 way of thinking, good human nature. where r u from?? LoL\n\nwell the answer is not in religion coz all religions r the same but in the dark nature of the human race who likes always to be the boss the leader and to make everyone different than him under his control. so that's how they r acting both sides. they hate each other not becoz of god but becoz of their benefits. \nLove+respect+humanity+god=Islam+Christianity+jewism+humanism\n\nwish we live in another world..

I should imagine that God hates all religions.  Most wars have been fought in the name of one religion or another - and all in His name!  I should think he's fed up to the back teeth with it all.  All that is really required is for us to love one another; to treat each other with respect and compassion; to acknowledge God as our creator, and to have a personal dialogue with Him in the form of prayer.  To this end, I don't think He cares one iota where we choose to pray.

Religion is the permanent boil on mankind's backside and the\nsource of more hate, violence, destruction and abuse than any other\nsingle force in the history of the world.\n.\nWake up! It's 2006 - Stop believing in fairy tales and ghost stories.

Although religion is good in many ways, it has also created a lot of wars. Music can cross boarders that religion can't.

There is, actually, a law of war against unnecessarily destroying religious or historic  sites. they are not to be destroyed, unless the enemy is using them to his advantage, such as by hiding in them.  Of coarse, the laws of war are only as good as the people who enforce them.

every religion aims to destroy and belittle other religions because they all think there right when there not

It seems it all stems back to religion.  There will always be war and bloodshed until all organized religion is extinct.
