I don't think so, but I think it is the core of most conflicts. As those with strong beliefs of any kind often label them with a religious doctrine. It just seems foolish, many religions are saying the same thing in slightly different ways, yet, they cannot get on. The hypocricy is amazing and the intolerance of other not in their religion just takes my breath away. It is part of the reason my mother raised me devoid of religion. When she was growing up her family were devout Roman Catholics, she got pregnant at age 16, the church kicked her out, took away her communion rights and would not let her be seen or go to mass. The preist came to the hospital the day I was born and told her if she did not have be babptised in the next five days I would be damned to hell. Scare tactics, nice, ha?
So from then on, neither she nor I have been into any organised religion. I do not believe in God, but I do believe in spiritualty, things unexplainable.
