    My point was not to say that non religious people are all saints, but to balance out your previous point where you praised religion without nuance.

    Of course the common denominator is people. And it’s pretty easy to see how religion is a powerful tool for these people to do evil, wouldn’t you say?

      I never praised religion without nuance, I gave praise where praise was due when the topic is “When has religion ever deserved respect”. Your point is moot because a bad portion of a group does not make the whole group bad, and does not change my point that religious groups do have reasons to be respected.

      People doing good is respectable wouldn’t you say?
