comment As religion creates civilisations and laws and taboos. Atheism and anarchy are two sides of the same coin one is religious unrest the other social unrest but both are destructive to societies and neither has created anything or been adopted by any country. People do things of their own accord not because of the group they are affiliated with even though they may share some common values. [...]

answer Religion is a human creation. That sort of means that humans inherently possess the capacity for evil. The ones who notised the absurdity of this question are likely the same ones who know they can be evil. Organised religion is the bi-product of evil that got bored and needed a new outlet.

comment People are the root of all evil. Asking if religion is the root of all evil is like asking if books are the root of all evil. Like religion, books are both good and the evil depending on who wrote them. Principia Mathematica = good, The Anarchist Cookbook = evil. "Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful." — attributed to Seneca the [...]

answer Evil cannot be blamed on any sole concept of religion. Evil stems from humans, in the choices that they make. The origin is evil is within us, and behold, the greatest war lies not externally but within.

comment organised religion is not the root of all evil but simply the voice of evil. a body if you like for evil. islam is not evil but extremist members wrongly interperate it as. thus giving them excuses and motives for mass murder and carnage.

comment I have grown up in a world of selfishness, individualism, competition, numbing of the brain where we have to fit in a certain standard , be the best in that standard and that is the only way to excel. When I worked with some african people and observed their culture and way of living together I was so inspired by the togetherness, the collaboration, the joy, the colours. I believe Africa has the [...]
