But it helps.
Ideology is what is necessary for that, and that does not need to be religious.
I think you need to religiously hold an ideology to die or kill for it.
The only form of ideology that is always religious is religion.
Also your post is whataboutism.
You don't need religion to do that. I got two words for you: Donald Trump. And it isn't whataboutism, it's filling in more context to make a truer and broader point. It just kills the anti-religion jackoff fest the internet loves so much.
There's plenty that can be awful about religion, and we just make ourselves look stupid when we wrongly try to make its evils singular, exclusive to itself. It's far less comfortable to see that this is a human thing, rather than a religious thing. Pretending It's only a religious thing and then not being religious pushes the problem away to a nice, safe distance, where we can talk about "them" and fundamentally leave ourselves out of it.
Do note that religion only ever seems to be a problem when it's conservative or authoritarian, a pattern that holds for many things outside of religion as well, and with startling consistency.
The comment was:
And you wrote:
That's the definition of whataboutism.
Religions claim authority and are authoritarian by definition, religion is extremely harmful just by the fact that it preaches immortality. You also don't need to be conservative to believe in faith healing. There may be few exceptions to the rule, but by far the most religions contain these harmful doctrines.
That's disingenuous at best.
Religion is a problem when it used to push principles on to other people ( specifically when those principles are harmful and unwelcome ), conservative and authoritarian principles happen to lend themselves to this kind of behaviour quite readily which is why you see criticism aimed at those types of religions.
Perhaps it might be worth looking in to why this consistency exists.
Thank you for telling me you're not worth talking to, bye.
