    I'd dispute the 55+ million number also. 15 minutes of research makes it look like getting to 1 million in the events you describe would be pretty difficult.

    I don't mean to dispute that much harm has been done in the name of religion. Much certainly has. However, I disagree that religion is the main cause of war and suffering. Greed and power are the true motivators in most cases.
    Problem is (and the Vatican is there to prove it), that religion, greed and power often go hand in hand.

    I find it highly ironic that pro-gun people talk about religion the same way that surrender monkeys talk about guns.
