I never claimed that there were no other reasons than religion to act stupidly.
However, I would claim that religion makes it easier for people to do stupid stuff. You disagree?
PS: To be more blunt - In a more scientific world we learn from our mistakes, such as WW1. In a more religious world not so much.
WW1: Oh, that was rubbish, this form of warfare obviously does not work.
WW2: Oooops we did it again, but with new tech and ideas.
WW... let's make a EU.
Compare this to:
Crusade 1: Oh this was rubbish
Crusade 2: Oh this was rubbish
Crusade 3: Oh this was rubbish
Crusade 4: Oh this was rubbish
Crusade 5: Oh this was rubbish
Crusade 6: Oh this was rubbish
Crusade 7: Oh this was rubbish
Crusade 8: Oh this was rubbish
Crusade 9: Oh this was rubbish
Hmm, didn't Bush II mention something about a crusade? Or am I just being stupid again?
