I think what Cheese is saying is that the Abrahamic religions differ from other religions in that they enforce their religious beliefs on others while other religions are live and let live. It's not really accurate though. For example, the predominantly Muslim Rohingya people of Myanmar are persecuted by the majority Buddhists in part for their religious beliefs. That's right. Do you even know what you are talking about clu? I am yet to read something right regarding the wrongheadedness of your simpleminded argument.

There is no difference. Religion is a culture that is centred upon the worship of God or gods. On the surface, but no human is resistant to being politically manipulated by the folks who control the religion causing the faithful to act against the very teachings of that religion or human decency. Nor does it mean these well-meaning (by their understanding of the phrase) folks won’t do some evil things in the name of God. How many wars have been fought in the name of God? And do you think that’s what God wants? For people to suffer especially when they don’t have to? Especially when these men have the ability to make peace. Just look at Christianity. How many very religious people surround Trump filling his head with whatever garbage he wants to hear? Yet they are Good Christians. They believe they are advancing the Kingdom of God just like you do. I’ve yet to see you outraged over the handling of Covid in this nation or just about any other antiAmerican, antiChristian move he and the GOP have done. If nothing else, you could condemn the criminal incompetence of the current administration, if not its policies. But from you, crickets. So you may be Christian, you’re not very good one. Maybe I’m being unfair to you, if so here’s your chance to correct me. I agree with the first part of your post, you lose yourself though paul when you go into your own deluded Trump's fault shtick and the faux virtuous outrage you project and expect others to tag along is more telling of your own manipulating and controlling stance of partisan belief. If you kept off the sauce, you would be more level-headed in your approach.

It is the "manner" in which the religion endorses itself and the need for dominance of belief and how it gets used to control the masses based with propagated beliefs shrouded in fear, ignorance and oppression. I'm not evading anything. Religions are carried out pretty much, the same way in every walk of life. Yes, there have been atrocities committed in different religions, including the ones that you have given a pass on.

Even non religious persons and institutions have committed atrocities, but when comparing the religious ones, the others compared to Christianity and Islam are disproportionate in terms of the large scale defilement the latter two have inflicted upon mankind throughout the ages.

No evil perpetuated should be given a pass, this includes that done in the name of God Religion, Science, or Some Ideology; even if the perpetrators seem to think their evil is not evil. And especially the active adherent should take caution to recognize this evil and stop it. That you can’t see the evil in your own house means you’re part of the problem, I’m afraid. It’s the very devout such as yourself who most support men like Trump. They think they are saving America from demonic liberalism, so the believe they are entitled, blessed by God even, to break any law because they answer to a Higher Law. You’re in Canada, I know, but you’ve flippantly brushed off Trump with a sneer, but never really condemned the man’s actions...which are evil in any nation...that I know of. Evil triumphs when good people do nothing.
