If people just didn't think at all, they wouldn't think to start wars. Nazi Germany and Stalinist Russia weren't religious. Sure, blame religion for the evils. We have too many homeless shelters and soup kitchens anyway.

You have brilliantly illuminated the absurdity found in just one of the many flawed staple arguments which the radical atheists instinctively divulge in their attempts to attack Christianity.Congrats.

Hitler was a christian, as were most Nazis. Stalin made the government into the official religion, and you had to worship him. Even if they had been atheists, that would have been because religion is a political weapon used to take power from the government and to manipulate people, so to be a good dictator, you must get rid of it. People don't kill because they are atheists, or in the name of atheism. Religious people kill in the name of their religion, because of their religion. Not thinking causes Christians to launch crusades and inquisitions. Not thinking is what religious leaders want, because if no one thought we would all be religious. homeless shelters and soup kitchens??? If I kill countless numbers of people in the name of god, and open a soup kitchen that does not make me a good guy.

If 90% of the world's population are religious, than you could say that 90% of the world's wars were religious wars. Therefore religion is wrong. Do you think that if we had no religion there would be no wars? The Bible says in Galatians 5 Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, 21 envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. "
I'm really inclined to think that these things are the cause of wars more than religion.

I think it's not thinking. Let's ban not thinking. All you religious people would have to start thinking, though. Could you handle it? The churches would hate it if you did.

Hitler was raised a Christian and professed to be doing God's work. Germany is an overwhelming Christian country. Why do you think they were so antisemitic?

develop positive thinking , your idea looks like if millions of the people in the world are poor and living in poverty instead of uplifting them ,you wanted to eliminate the rich or take the riches from them so that all remain poor ,
now judge yourself how foolish you are.
