I said "for crying out loud" because it has been explained to you time and time again in each religion-bashing thread we've had that
religion itself does not cause wars. It has been used as the catalyst, it has been used as the excuse, it has been used as the rallying cry but very rarely has religon been the sole reason for a war.
Wars get caused by politics, greed, power, land, money etc.
This is one of the main reason why we should be teaching our children about all religions, with a bit of luck they won't grow up with the same ignorance and lack of knowledge.
