I am for the elimination of hate, fear and control, religion is just the catalyst that people use to hate, fear and control, getting rid of religion won't solve the problem, its like putting a band aid on a severe cut, its
temporary, and it just
hits the surface, instead we need to go deeper than that to the root cause, I know lots of religious people who don't hate, fear or control, there are also many beliefs such as paganism, Buddism, Taoism, which doesn't use hate fear, and self righteousness to condemn others, I think if maybe more of the
most major religions followed there teachings then we wouldn't have as much problems as we do.
