The Problem with Organized Religion

I am a practising liberal Reform Jew. I applaud all the various faiths in the world for what they each preach... all of them have 'sacred' text that urge all of us to do good things to other people.. in other words 'treat everyone nice'.

Yet throughout history there has been so much religious and other wars because adherents of one particular faith have demonized other faiths (see my earlier post on demonization).

I guess you can say the problem is not religion itself but some people who call themselves 'true believers' have done horrible things to people of other faiths throughout history.
