So much hate and has been done through the excuse of God or beliefs. Doesn't mean it's right nor religious.
Case in point, The Crussades and how deeply people believed in the hate, The Children's Crussade.

Using belief’s to justify your actions is the meaning of religion.
Religion is the worse thing man ever created, followed closely by the A-bomb.

Religion is certainly not the worst. It was out of religion that so many worthy causes were taken up. US Absolutionist were religious. Ghandi was religious and so many that fight against poverty.
The issue is where the religious get their beliefs and based on what. Most of today's Christian Nationalist is based on people wanting power. It's not based on the Bible they claim to uphold. Bible preaches against fear but they listen to fear mongers. They us religion for selfish motives and sake. There are amazing religious people through history and in the world today..
Just like there are horrible none religious people. Stalin, Po Pot and so many more.

Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes. Just so you know, the correct spelling is Gandhi.

You’re doing the same thing. Making the claim that anyone who disagrees with you should be persecuted and silenced.
