This is a good post but like another poster said, the minute you bring logic into it you have lost the religious!
Surely the point is that religion shouldn't have killed anybody. It's the hypocrisy of the religious which gets to me. All this holier than thou attitude, and they are right up there in the statistics killing in the millions.
What's the point if religion if it only adds to the death toll?
