Re: Evolution of religion
When a large group discriminates against a minority group on 'moral' grounds which they get from a 2,000 year old book which has been discredited over the centuries then it affects all of us.
It doesn't matter if it's about homosexuals being married or women having jobs or black people not being lynched in the streets. When beliefs with no legitimate basis are held by vast numbers of people in your country it is always potentially harmful.
throughout history people have found comfort in the belief that Jews were the cause of all of the worlds problems. this doesn't justify rounding them all up and killing them or using violence to make them flee the country.
