i don't think that its religion that is the force for 'good' or 'evil', its the people that come out of it.
i personally think that christianity is a beautiful religion, but some of the people within it have blemished its record. i know its only a very small minority, and it happens in every religion, im just using christianity as an example.
im a very religious person, and im a celtic pagan. nowhere is there anything that im aware of that gives celtic pagans the right to slam othere religions. however, there is unfortunately a minority that think they should and can, which gives a bad name to the whole group.
i guess the point im trying to make is that a religion shouldnt be judged as 'good' or 'evil', its the people within it who should be examined instead.
hope that made sense!!!
