Now world religion is a controlling tool of spreading war.They are not following even what religion said.So political is binding with religion and they using it for improving racism and separate people.As humans we have a huge responsibility to minimize this problem.We must spreading humanity except racism.Religion must not going to parents to children.People can be choose what they following or not.

Religion doesn't start war, its a facade - people do. That said, blanket statements about religion are rarely ever helpful considering the vast array of religions out there.

Semantics... religions do start wars

Wars are started because people refuse to settle differences through talking... religious people have no interest in settling differences with people of other religions... the majority of "holy" books (Bible, Quran, etc) state that you are commanded by god to murder anyone who even tries to convert you to another religion, even if it is your own family, parents or children trying to convert you.

If you don't believe that religious differences have started wars... you are willfully ignorant

Also, there is not a "vast array of religions out there"... I can count the religions of the world on 2 hands... 1 hand on a good day (jew, christian, muslim, hindu, buddhist)

Congrats, you're happily perpetuating ignorance.

You cant say both religions start war and then say they start because "people have no interest in settling differences".
If they are all the religions you've been exposed to, then let's be careful not to assume they are completely representative.
Finally, blanket statements about the "majority of 'holy' books" was just errant on so many levels, I just hope people don't fall for these unsubstantiated claims.

If you are going to say I'm wrong, please provide an example

I have read the entire Hebrew bible, and the Christian bible.  I have read large sections of the Qur'an, Zohar, Book of Mormon, Bhagavad Gita, Mahabharata, the Pali Canon, Tao Te Ching, and Tibetan book of the dead.  I have read Socrates and Plato.  I have read Apocryphal books that didn't make it into the canonized bible... Let me know when you have studied all the world religions, and read each of their holy books... then perhaps we can have a debate about it

Please explain how I'm wrong about Jews, Christians and Muslims having zero interest in settling their differences... When have you ever seen Jews, Christians or Muslims do anything but sling hatred and bombs at each other?
