All through history belief in God has created tremendous suffering, and wars for people all over the world.
The two world religions - Christianity and islam - are the leading violent forces for defending their belief in God ranging from the sword to nuclear weapons! The only time so far nuclear weapons have been used is against a Buddhist country. The scenario may change in future. Religions which do not believe in God have nothing to defend: so far, no atheists has gone to war to prove the sacredness of their belief - there is no God. Religion is not the cause: belief in God is the evil force. Will the day come when people who believe in God - will stop killing for their belief in God? India has been for millennia a country where religion is a search for truth - and not a belief system. For this reason India is known as a spiritual country for millennia. But nowadays India is changing and is looking more and more like Christianity and Islam - and no longer a country of seekers after truth. Wars will continue as human beings have to kill. Maybe it is a part of our evolutionary historical process. But at least we should stop killing one another in the name of religion, shouldn’t we?
