The number of times that I have read people describe religion as "the root of all evil" and say things like "religion causes division", "religions cause wars" etc. I don't mean any offence to Islam and Christianity whatsoever (I see all religions as belonging to God), but out of the 6 major religions in the world today, it has only been Islam and Christianity that have ever engaged in wars of religion or have used religion to justify aggression and violence. What wars have other religions, such as Hinduism, Budhism, Sikhism, Jainism, Judaism, Shintiosm, Confuciasm etc been involved in???
Why do people blame religion for wars when out of all major religions it has only been 2 that have ever engaged in wars of religion????
