Many people believe the world would be a better place without religion. Religion leads to violence, they say. Who cause the Cruisades? Religious people. Who was in charge of the Spanish Inquisition? Religious people. Whose fault was 9/11? Religious people. So I ask you is religion the cause of evil in the world? 

Post your thoughts and be ready to defend your answers.
