With *any* religion, there is always going to be a group that decides that their interpretation of things is more correct than other people's and that it is their sworn duty to force their specific beliefs on others. And that third group that is "harmless" typically enables them, sitting back and doing nothing to help or even participating in more subtle ways. |

Nor is it true of every religious group. Labeling "religion" as "the problem" is just the same dynamic of identifying a false viewpoint that must be eliminated. |

While it is true that other, more secular things can also apply this, there is one key difference: other things can adapt. |
