“Those who believe in
absurdities end up omitting atrocities”
[Voltaire, 1694-1778].

| Does religion kill? |
Is religion violent? It discriminates between those who believe and those who do not. It stereotypes. It divides. It says I am right and you are wrong, or you are right and I am wrong. It judges people. It motivates wars. It even kills. The track record of religious violence is long and bloody and too public to deny.
