LOL, I'm not even religious!!! It's YOU with the premis that religion=evil. I'm saying... "really, prove it!"
You can start with the foremost religious figure of our time... His Holiness the Dalai Lama, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize [not the WAR & DESTRUCTION Prize]:

<<I am very happy to be here with you today to receive the Nobel Prize for Peace. I feel honored, humbled and deeply moved that you should give this important prize to a simple monk from Tibet I am no one special. >>
Maurice take note... "I am no one special".
<<I accept the prize with profound gratitude on behalf of the oppressed everywhere and for all those who struggle for freedom and work for world peace. I accept it as a tribute to the man who founded the modern tradition of non-violent action for change Mahatma Gandhi whose life taught and inspired me. >>
Yea, you know, just your typical scumbag speech! LOL
<<No matter what part of the world we come from, we are all basically the same human beings. We all seek happiness and try to avoid suffering. We have the same basic human needs and is concerns. All of us human beings want freedom and the right to determine our own destiny as individuals and as peoples. >>
REpressive bastard!
<As a Buddhist monk, my concern extends to all members of the human family and, indeed, to all sentient beings who suffer. I believe all suffering is caused by ignorance.>>
Yep, anti-science!!!! NOT!
<<true happiness comes from a sense of brotherhood and sisterhood. We need to cultivate a universal responsibility for one another and the planet we share. Although I have found my own Buddhist religion helpful in generating love and com passion, even for those we consider our enemies, I am convinced that everyone can develop a good heart and a sense of universal responsibility with or without religion.>>
"I am convinced that everyone can develop a good heart.... blah blah with or WITHOUT religion."
N'ouf said. Yea, this guy is pretty special, I'll go out on a limb. :)
