Are you kidding? My mother was an atheist for most of my childhood (her mother was (nonbelieving) Jewish and her father was a catholic). I am a Christian. I don't believe that religion breeds hate or bigotry, although some religious folks can be bigots. They would be bigots even if they weren't religious, at least that is what I believe.

DEFINITELY NOT!

Quite the opposite, in fact!

Peace,

That's a good way to put it. This makes me think that if I am true Hindu, you are a true Baha'i, others are true Muslims, then others are true Christians and if everyone is true to their religions, there should be none of these negative tendencies.

Om Shanti.
You signed off "Peace" Bruce; Om Shanti means - Peace in the name of God.

nope, Our faith is keenly intrested in how the world works and we made great advances in medicine, astronomy and mathmatics. Granted we didn't have some of the tools of discovery that others did, but we did awesome with what we had.

Is there a religion where racism is encouraged or required as part of joining/maintaining membership in that religion? If so, I'm not aware of it.
Quote:
Hatred
It's very easy to take religions and twist them out of context to say that they encourage hate, but I've never seen a religious text that says "And hate, hurt, and kill people that aren't of this religion."
Quote:
Separation
I think Christianity says something about being yoked with nonbelievers. Beyond that, unsure.
Quote:
Ignorance
That falls squarely on the shoulders of the believers, not the religion. I know too many educated religious people to think otherwise.
Quote:
Wars
Most "religious" wars have political reasons behind them.
Quote:
Jealousy
I'm a bit confused on this one, since I can't think of any religion that advocates jealousy.
Quote:
JudgeMetal =My God Is Better Then Your God
Some religions do flat-out state that other gods are false, yes.

I think you're overlooking one thing: religion requires people to interpret it, and put it into practice, thus, it's the people who ultimately breed these things, religion being a convenient tool.

So Buddhism breeds these things then, darcyr?
