True Sparrow. Mankind is tribal and inherently competitive. I would like to see religion as a positive way of scratching the itch of tribalism, but instead I see it fanning the fires of violence and hatred.
For me and my family our religion gives my children a tangible set of positive community values and reminds me of the value of humility over selfishness. It's a shame that the positive experience I enjoy is so frequently not shared and that religion is seen by many as an evil rather that a good force for
humankind.
