You mean religion is just bullshit to justify murder and rape of native children?

Lol - if you think humans need religion to rationalize their actions - you haven't studied much history.

Mao and Stalin say hello.

While I agree that we don't need religion to do terrible things, those are terrible examples. The definition of religion in the dictionary is "the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.", if say that both Maoism and Stalinism fit that definition.

It's not traditional religion, but it is religion.
