I believe religion started with sacrificing animals, virgins, and children and other weaklings to really rotten gods. Even the Jewish kings made and tolerated these sacrifices. The prophets of Israel went around killing people they didn't agree with. The church and crusaders burned and killed thousands of Jews, moors and heretics. Respect for free thought and human life is scarcely three hundred years old -- one result of the Enlightenment which emphasized freedom from theistic religion.
