There are good Christians (Mother Theresa) and evil Christians (Fred Phelps) Good Muslims (Malcolm X) and evil Muslims (Osama Bin Laden) Alternatively there are ethical people who live without religion (Bill Gates) And evil people who live without religion (Josef Stalin) Religion does not correlate with ethics, GET OVER IT!
Found this today and thought it was interesting, don't think that these are the BEST examples, but it'll do. |

| Yes, Pepper, but I don't think that religion is the end-all be all in ethics. |

| Plenty of people consider Mother Theresa evil, for good reason. |

| Religion is simply another way by which Society chooses to regulate its morality. Not the most expedient, but it will do. |

"Being an atheist, you have reasonable morals."
Stalin, Pol Pot, Ayn Rand, Mao Zedong
Yep, all of these people are great and you should look up to them for their morals |

I think being religious makes you have bad morals. -
Here are some of Christianities biggoted morals:
Do not murder Do not steal Do not oppress the poor
Here are some of Islams biggoted Morals:
Do not Murder Do not Steal Give to the poor Want for your neighbor what good you'd want for yourself. Give to charity regularly Be polite

“There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion. The right course has become clear from the wrong.” (Quran 2:256) - “Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction, and argue with them in a way that is best.” (Quran 16:125) - The Prophet had a document drawn up in which he stipulated that Jews and Christians “shall be protected from all insults and harm; they shall have an equal right with our own people to our assistance and good offices,” and further, “they shall practice their religion as freely as the Muslims.”

You cannot judge a religion based on a few individuals but it's values.
