We went far enough with religion. We went too far and now we traspassed where we shouldn't have. Once religion was a tool for people to heal their spirit and do good following the preaching written in their books. Fast forward many centuries in an era of instant communication and commerce: religion is now the tool hate and division among people.
If religion is about peace and understanding, why do people use bullets and torture to spread it? They do because religion is a medium of fear and terror. Fear and terror are the best ways to control large crowds especially if they are second and third world countries. This is the same way Americans were controlled in a swirl of spiritual politic during the George W. Bush administration from 2000 to 2008. Yellow alert, orange alert, red alert, etc. Especially that republican administration used religion as a medium to blend perfectly in all those US citizens who are religious and weren't so sure about their president.
What was left over was a minority of smart republicans and atheists that didn't buy the Bush Jr doctrine and were labeled anti-American and also terrorist. I believe there's nothing worse than being segregated by your own people on spiritual or political grounds.

Nobody criticize if you are a believer in any particular religion, but rather how you do it. If Catholicism and Islam are faith based religion and through words and readings they are spread, then why the physical aggression towards their own people and other who view the world differently from them? We can simply answer this question saying that religious people are indoctrinated in worshiping one entity granting absolute obedience disregarding the rest of the people, included those in their religion.

It is a matter of individualism and not an altruistic status-quo. Religion is about committing a sin that involved a personal desire and confessing it, then to repeat the cycle until death. Do you think the spread of the good and the wealth to those in need is the basis of religion? Absolutely no! It's just a one-to-one with your god and a “fuck you!” to those around you, otherwise we wouldn't be in a situation where Catholicism priest rape children and Islam stones and lashes people to death for petty crimes. It's really that simple: religions today are more harmful than dangerous politicians and dictators.
