About This Quote

The fact that religion is used to justify taking other people’s lives is the reason why religion should be abolished. The fact that life has been taken in the name of religion is an extremely disturbing sight. This is not only because it violates our understanding of morality, but because it gives us a glimpse into how humans can be so twisted and perverted. The fact that there are more lives lost because of religious hatred than for any other reason shows how warped people’s minds can become.
