I don't give a hoot about any "religion". Religion has become the root of all evil. No. The root of all evil is still the quest of power and domination over other people. Religion is merely one convenient mechanism by which some attempt to achieve that. But religion can also be a powerfully unifying and positive force for good. And btw, Communism is no less a "religion" than any other form. The only difference is that it's an secular religion that attempts to destroy or undermine any belief in a "higher power".. And I opine that it does this in order to lay the foundation for only owing ultimate accountability for its beliefs and actions to itself. Eliminate the sense of spiritual moral conscience in mankind, or any concept of a penalty (or reward) for their actions during the course of their lives, and they can justify just about anything that furthers their ideology. Kind of like how you justify leaving someone like Saddam Hussein in power in Iraq. Hawk
