I became a little tired of all the anti-religious types making the insinuation that religion has been the cause of all the slaughter and suffering in the world. A brief review of history is in order. What do we find? The jury of the historical muses returns the Iron Verdict of History to show that the religious killers were amateurs compared to the "modern" atheistic, anti-religious types. Read 'em and weep!

The Mohammedan enterprise overrunning India and the East was certainly heavy in slaughter. I read one time how the Mogul invaders killed thousands of devotees at a Hindu shrine. Still, I stand by my statistics.

The Khymer Rouge probably killed, in Cambodia, as many as all the previous religious wars in history.

When you examine the wars of history, not that many were outright religious wars.

Funny. Many parts of the list (but not all) belong on a list of religious atrocity. There are historical missteps of atheism- but this list is simply a howler top to bottom.

I think there are a lot of correlations between Politics and Religion, specifically in the tendency for each realm's most extremist members to throw their humanity out the door in pursuit of some larger goal. Extremism rarely ends well - whether it be in politics or religion.
