      I don’t necessarily disagree with you, but it’s still possible for religion to be a problem even if it’s not the only problem.

        Or maybe it’s not the book that says “love thy neighbor” but rather humanity. Who knows. Let’s see how the amazing secular China is doing! Surely they without religion bring true peace everywhere!
