In My Opinion.......and it is only an opinion.
I agree wholeheartedly only I would add that religion while it does have it's good points, the very essence of every religious leader is to instill fear, hate and control over its followers whether that was the original purpose that the prophet had or not. (I don't believe Jesus wanted people to fear, hate or control.... but leaders today and in the past have warped his true meanings. I use Christianity solely as an example from which I have enough knowledge to speak of.... I am sure Mohammed and Islam, Judaism, Hindu, Buddhism and so on are pretty much the same....)
