    Antisemitism without religion is called racism. And because a corrupt caste of people use religion as a pretext to control and funnel wealth. Doesn’t mean the underlying religion itself calls for that.

    As for having a population supporting conquest independent from religion look at the east India company, both world wars, and many others.

    I’m not saying religious organizations are a benefit or arguing for or against that.

    But how is the world a better place because the banned prayer rooms in universities?

    Whether some of those people follow a good religious leader or not. Their religion generally calls for overall good.

      What a religion calls for is almost never what it enables.

      how is the world a better place because the banned prayer rooms in universities?

      I don’t think public funds should support any religion, and I don’t think universities should support unsubstantiated claims.

        I agree with you on the use of public funds. But a ban goes beyond that.

        And it’s not that the religion enables evil deeds. Evil deeds exist independent of religion. Because some people use it as a thin veil over their actions doesn’t mean it’s the root cause
