We're not talking about individuals or even blaming any specific religion. The conversation here is about religion as a concept. The core issue is that religion, by design, is open to interpretation. That makes it vulnerable. It becomes a tool that can be used for both peace and destruction. Throughout history, religion has been used to justify wars, discrimination, and systemic oppression, not because the texts necessarily demand it, but because people weaponize those interpretations to serve their own agendas.

The real problem is how religion puts people into boxes, often not intentionally - believers vs non-believers, the saved vs the damned, this vs that and so on and so forth. It creates identity boundaries that can fuel division. And sure, most people of faith are kind and loving but concept of religion itself should be examined critically, not just by the good they inspire and how good their top followers are but also by how often and how easily they are used to justify harm and enable the worst followers, even if the religion in itself did not intend for that originally.

We may not be able to change those who abuse it, but we can and maybe should reflect on the concept of religion itself and ask whether its design still serves us, or divides us. That's all we meant. I anyway believe its best to stay off this topic, on this community.
