You watch too much TV.
Quote:Religion is what drives the common footsoldier on both sides, it's what gives him backbone because he/she believes that they are nothing without religion.
American soldiers are there because of religion? Thats funny... unless you consider "America" itself a religion... then I could agree.
Quote:Actually, their religion will probably get them killed in the process of fighting for said freedoms.
No... the brittish peoples religions on those trains didnt get them killed... nor did the 500,000+ bystanders in the middle east. Your looking at religion again from what they broadcast on the news and TV. It's a very 1 sided view. Ask a mother about her child thats in the war... The last thing youd hear is that he is there because of God or Religion.
It's atleast 5:1 .. if not more.. nonreligious vs religious related deaths in this "war on terrorism". Don't forget that.
Yes religion has killed more people then anything else in the entire world but this time it's only being used as the skapegoat because just like it's easy to play the race card, it's just as easy to play the religious one.
EDIT
K_OS great quote there.
