Anybody read Angels Demons By Dan Brown?

As for the holocaust. It wasn't caused by religion, it was caused by the hatred toward the Jews. Hilter hated non-germans. Wars are caused by anger and hatred. It's just many use religion as a way to justify their actions.

You have two things to thank religion for and that's the laws we follow. The first being that most of the present day laws was used long ago, and was inspired by religion. As for the second, if not for religion, most anime, novels, mangas, and movies that have spirits and demons in them wouldn't have been made, since some are "inspired" from religious belief. Seen D. Gray-Man? Constantine? Inuyasha? Read Da Vinci Code?

Also a true atheist would look upon people in religions as crazy people that believe foolish things, and not fight against something that they think exists. After all, if it's merely a thought, why bother fighting against it? You can't fight thoughts, because just as I can't change what you believe, you can't change what other's believe. People will live their life according to their beliefs, so if you hate religion...then live your life believing that it's just fiction and the followers are crazy people, but try to not commit any hate crimes. Sorry for the long response.

I agree with you on all of your points except from one. You can change a person's belief. If not, then the world as we know it wouldn't exist since humans wouldn't be able to convince each other in order to advance.

Stop debating about the two and mix em together, you'll get surprising results

Sorry, I just reliesed that I didn't say what I was for. Personly I don't care, but after seeing the dabate on this on the television, I'll have to go with Evolution. I mean it is clearly explained and can be proved in many ways. I'm not going to dis Creationism so I'm not going to say anything about it exept it is possible that either both are right or wrong. Even a combination of the 2 is possible, I know there is no true answer.
