The recent incident from a school in Muzaffarnagar highlights, once again, how many of India’s institutions, and its people, are failing the country’s Muslims.

      If cancer was cured tomorrow, people would still eventually die, but I would rather live in a world without cancer than with.

          The amount of people raped, beaten, and murdered in the name of religion is unfathomable. That’s why. We should absolutely deal with climate change AND get rid of all religions.

          I don’t know why you don’t think they are related nor do I see why you think we can’t work on more than one problem at once. Also if you want to talk about the lack of unity you might not want to mention religion.

              The answer is simple:

              Religion is not based in fact.

              We need solutions based on facts if we are going to handle the problems our species faces.

          there is no peace without it. you think traditional mulims will not oppose trans rights movement? there is no coexistance with people following religious rules.

      this is the same excuse conservatives use in the united states to keep human killing weapons at home. it doesnt mean we shouldnt get rid of guns. it means we get rid of guns and govern the people

      same here. we can move towards abolishing the root cause of most racism and hate (religion) as well as policing and educating the terrible populace that require it.

      to turn a blind eye on the root cause, is to prove you have motive in its existence.
