Default Re: Religion willl be illegal in the future......

The current terrorism, most wars past, and wars we have'nt fought yet, were all religion based

Let's first ignore the complete illiteracy of the above quote.

Then let's just take the wars the US has fought and see, what *most* were fought over.

- The American Revolution - basically a tax revolt
- The War of 1812 - we used the excuse that the british were forcing American sailors into their service
- The Indian Wars - territory
- The Mexican War - territory
- The Civil War - economic issues & slavery, some might say consolidation of federal power
- The Spanish-American War - Again, territory
- WWI - I don't see religion here
- WWII - I don't see a religious link here
- Korea - UN action to stop aggression
-Vietnam - I don't think we can call anti-communism a religion
- Desert Storm - UN action, like Korea
- Iraq - There's a religious aspect to this on their side.

So, I guess you have a strange definition of *most.* Now, I usually am in agreement that religion has caused moe pain and suffering in human history than anything except communism, but a post as stupid as yours had to be addressed.
