History has manifested the disgraces of religion. Religion's image of unity and integrity has exonerated it from public scrutiny and caused many to overlook its corruption. The problem with religion is the intolerance towards other religions; unity only exists within a religion, not among religions. From the Crusades during the Middle Ages to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict during present day, the large number of casualties can be attributed to the discord among religions. Religions set guidelines for its followers that may not always be just. For example, Catholics are prevented from using birth control methods, greatly contributing to overpopulation and the war for resources that follows.
However, there are still some religions that maintain tranquility. Buddhists and Quakers, for instance, tolerate all other religions and advocate a nonviolent society. If there were more religions such as these, the concept of religion would not be so corrupt.
I have nothing to cite.
