“You should be nice to people”
How does this need proof? Something like Buddhism isn’t saying “this is how the world is” more like “these attitudes might be helpful to you” - there is nothing there to prove.
Of course if you think that a gigantic sky daddy wants you to invade a country because the man on TV said so, then perhaps you should reassess some things.
Vast majority? Christianity and Islam combined make up about 66% of the religious population. Which other religions have a sizeable amount of people and conduct crusades?

Buddhism isn’t a religion as there is no deity to worship. Isn’t it more a philosophy?
Yeah, its a sliding scale. I suppose tax status is a simple line to differentiate between a philosophy & religion.
That only exists in the USA for what I know and would be a terrible way to decide theological or philosophical questions lol!
I’m aware of their history. They tried & failed in Australia but mixed results in NZ
Doesn’t need a god either, or thousands of mutually incompatible made-up backstories.
Exactly. and the vast majority of how ‘religion’ is used today is …
Yesterday I would have said intermittent fasting.
Today? IDK probably getting their internal monologues to shut the fuck up for a bit.
Silencing the inner monologue over the most bsnal explanations and/or wishful thinking ever is … a mental disorder.
There is much wrong with the world. To pretend otherwise is at best denial.

I hate to break it to you, but those 66% are conducting crusades… Just look at all the fucking brainless Christogooners celebrating the war on Iran…
No, not all Christians/Islamists are bad, but their religions are.
Ah, so you just don’t know what ‘vast majority’ means, and think you can use words willy-nilly.
Nope. I know what the religions do, and you are in denial.
Yes, illiteracy often correlates with strong and stupid opinions, so your case is not surprising.
