Many wars are in the namn of Religion. somtime there are land and économique reason for war but most of the time Religion.
some religion teach peace and stop to war this are good thing. then religion teach hatred and différence for other people. i think the world need good teacher of ethics and people who are strong to do this like Sartre and Kierkegaard. human ethics are better then religion because ethics are one good thing for all people. ethics are source of moralité and order for the worl d. then there will be no personne like George Bush who think he are god to use powver for destruction of people.

i think the big problem is that many people can't separate the ideas of religion and morality. many nonreligious people have strong morals and ethics and responsibility, while way too many religious people do terrible things in the name of thier god. as an atheist i believe that religions are manmade things, so the codes of morals we create with our religions are created by humans and not divinely inspired. so we all have the capacity to be ethical, and we get that from a place inside of us.

if someone has bad intentions, it doesn't really matter whether they're religious or not. if they are, then they'll twist thier religion until it supports thier beliefs. i don't think its religion that causes wars as much as people's intolerance of one another and the misuse of religion.
