Religion Can be good, it can like someone before said motivate people to do great acts of humanity such as Martin Luther King. However, when religion gets governed that is when it is horribly bad case in point the catholic church was a staunch ally of both italy and Germany in WW II . Tell me, how can a supposedly religious organization who promotes humanity and non-violence turn their head on the activities of a government who is coldly murdering Millions of people. people who share close ties with their religion. I will tell you how, In 1935 the Catholic church signed the treaty of latran making the city a sovereign nation. When Mussolini invaded ethiopia, most of the munitions were provided by the vatican's factories. The church which is supposed to be the protector of the oppressed recieved 100's of Millions of dollars from a tax imposed by germany in 1935. The Vatican recieved this bloody money from a nation who was ruthlessly murdering Jews. This money was accepted in the "name of God" tell me does this make you proud to worship a religion whose leaders are corrupt and hypocritical
