The Bloop
Jul 5, 2004

I don't buy the religion makes you an rear end in a top hat thing, but there is perhaps an argument that certain religions (Islam in particular) can lend themselves to those assholes being more dangerous. Being willing to blow yourself up in suicide bombings is almost entirely justified by religion. Those same people would probably still be assholes without religion, but the promise of reward for martyrdom is a specific example of how religion can make assholes more dangerous than they otherwise would be.

The real solution isn't combating religion, though, but poverty and oppression.
