Religion lies at the very base of the current USA vs Al-Queada war. The American Neo-Conservatives (aka right wing Christians) vs Osama Bin-Ladin, an Islamic Extremist. In my honest opinion both of these groups are an absolute bloody disgrace to any average follower of Christianity/Islam who's idea of religion involves the truth and not lies backed up with guns.
NO religion should be forced down anyones throat. One of my partner was raised in accordance with the strictest form of Catholasism, and she suffered because of it. She told me that she would never get her own children baptised or indocterined into any religious establishment, they would make their own decisions about religion when they were older.
Religion is like politics. Have a conversation in a pub about it with people you don't really know and an arguement is bound to break out. I can already see tempers fraying in this thread, and if I was a moderator I'd probably lock it or delete it before too many people get upset with each other.
