About This Quote
The above quote is a well known saying that states that we have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love. This statement reflects the idea that religion is often used to cause conflict instead of bringing people together. It can also be used to justify prejudice and discrimination when it is not needed. More simply put, the quote means that the world is full of religions, each one targeting different people. The world would be better off without them all.
