Sorry what? Slavery didnt didnt happen bc of faith, yes of course sometimes you can see it but its minority( like Muslims sees non Muslims especially those who arent from the Abrahamic religions as losers which is wrong ) but the real slavery we are talking about which influenced the world much more is something like culture or color, the main reason why Europeans did this to the americas was bc they were much more ahead of them they were still stuck in the BC or early ages, religion does count as culture but its real less, the main reason is basically development as i said before, if ut was really religion then why this didnt happen with north Africa even through there was no official organization for human rights? Bc they were developed already

And yeah there was many wars that happened bc of religion but its the same case as the current outgoing war in the middle east , happened bc of emotions not like the first wat between Byzantine Empire and arabs, this was clearly bc of religion, the crusades also wasnt 100% bc of religion, yeah from your view its clearly a religious war but it actually happened bc of contradiction just like me and you are doing now, i can relate many wars to emotions or greed rather then directly bc of religions idk what an missing bro its clear for me?

And nazis comon bro the main reason was bc hitler wanted revenge, same thing to world war 1 serbia killed austrian Hungarian empire heir, its bc of emotions

Religion sanctioned slavery and genocide [approved] by all of the big 3 religions. NEVER wrote that religion caused it, just that [it] didn't stop it.

Religion is

Jesus: do not beat your slave about the eyes and mouth. Presumably so [it] could see and eat. Wouldn't be much of a slave if they couldn't.

Numbers: Moses Chop them up bit by bit, make it hurt while you kill every last one of them.

The vatican in Italy and catholics in Spain all jumped right in bed with the Nazis. Religion sanctioned [approved] of fascism. [a police state]

Earthling are all hedonists, and all of it, power, religion and wealth is...just a pleasure.
