This may not answer them all,but have you heard of Christopher Hitchens or Richard Dawkins? have a look at "God is not Great" and "The God Delusion". You may come away with a different take on 'religion'.

That's hardly an answer to the questions I posed regarding your own thoughts relating to the relationship between the world's problems and religion .
I am not asking Dawkins , Hitchens or Voltaire what they think . I know it already . I am asking you .
I asked simple questions regarding certain events , so please would you answer them .
Here is what I said to remind you :-

That's rather a sweeping comment to make .
I was on Broadway yesterday looking at the banner commemorating the Accrington Pals who fought in WW1 .
In what way would you say that religion was to blame for WW! ?
Going forward in time , in what way would you say that religion
was to blame for WW2 ?
The world is undergoing serious financial problems , but how would you say that religion is to blame for them ?
At the moment with the disastrous weather in much of the south of England many are saying that it is part of the problem caused by global warming . How would you say that global warming is to be blamed on religion ?
A more personal problem I have is regarding your use of the word "religion" .
What exactly do you mean by "religion" ?
