Obama broadens military campaign against 'Islamic State'

That's far from true. We're living in the 20th century, not the 10th. I respect religion, as long as people can keep it to themselves. I don't mind any religion in that regard. I dislike the people who try to convince that their religion is a necessity in life, thats what I think is wrong with religion nowadays. Claiming that religion drives people to make other people believe is nonsense, it's something that might have been true a couple of hundred years ago.

isnt that just the problem with orginised religion in general? they try to get as much followers as possible. dont religious people force their believes on their children? just the fact that you have to teach a human being to believe and that it isnt part of our biology is just proof that these religions are BS.

Majority of the religious people believe the way they want to. They might try to convince their friends, family or whatnot, but not just any random person. What people decide to teach their own children is their choice, there is nothing wrong with believing in something bigger than humanity. Religion comes close to norms and values of nonreligious people as well, and thats something we teach our children as well. My point with religion is that it's fine as long as people keep it to their selves, that doesn't mean they can't talk or argue about it, as long as random people don't approach me outside or ring my doorbell then I'm fine with it.
