I totally agree with you gnome; Religion is causing quite a lot of trouble in the world and it would be nice to have it 'kept at home' but I think the problems arise more from this attitude than any other. People like those Christians in the US who want to unify the church and state; are all for the expression of their way of thinking and seeing the world but feel offended by the way of other faiths. While the religious they feel offended by are made unhappy by the fact they are unable to express their faith as openly as the Christians are allowed to.
The whole problem is not so much the people who believe the religions, as the governments who run the law and the institutes.... it would be better if they left religion to people and did away with 'churches' and 'temples' and solid places of worship. Being Irish, I see far too many churches around the place, and went to a school where religious education was more or less orientated around Christianity....there is no room in schools here for anybody else. The answer in my oppinion is either do away with state regulated religion and keep religion out of government...or teach something like Philosophy; where almost every view is embraced and there is no room to form a prejudice.
