But it's exasperating to see these generalisations, I'm not offended I'm just surprised. I don't even think religion is an inherently good or bad thing. I think it is the means through which people maintain a power structure that oppresses the masses, I also think it's a beautiful series of mythologies and histories with goodness at it's true core. Wars have been waged in the name of it, but at the same time it was what my Granddad (and unless he was a statistical anomaly, yours too) used to support him as he fought through France, seeing some serious messed up shit. It's a crutch for those who need it. Some people need that safety net there that tells them there is something else and that is okay.
