I believe that religion is not about beliefs. Rather it is an out growth of tribalism with roots in money, power and greed for its own best cause, which is often itself. PRomising to relieve fear itself or even the fear of mortality is the 'lynch'pin to drag in new members and keep old members in tow.

When I am asked to support or join an organization of intolerence that preaches a gospel of hate, I have zero respect for the group and a measire of compassion for the individual caught in its grasp.
