    Well it has caused wars; there is no denying that. But I suppose its fairer to be more specific and say an extreme interpretation of religious faith; inspired charismatic humans to act violently as to avenge the Gods.

    As a deist and non-extreme person; I have no need for such things. You don't share my beliefs? Fine by me. Choose your own path.

  • Without question it does.

    Humans cause war. People who want what isn't theirs and don't want to get it in legitimate ways cause wars.

    No. The Illuminati uses it to keep people from being peaceful with each other. Mainly, they lie about Jesus Christ because they hate him more than any other single human being who has ever lived because He has power that they will never have.
