Loving God and my neighbor as myself.
Anything can be misused. I can use a pencil to stab you. It is not a reflection on pencils. It is a reflection on the state of the human soul.Yep. There were a few wars which were mainly religious but far more often religion was used as an excuse and a method to rally the troops.
And I think that doesn't let religion off the hook. If it can be (miss-)used in such a way, it doesn't really hold up to it's own ideals - or can justifiably be called militant.
