Ah, you have just expressed my deepest belief! Yes, it has been and unfortunately still is religion that keeps dividing people, playing with their true faith, abusing ir forbidding original texts - these are very different from current situation...
I am not a Christian, no one in my family is. Mind you I am originally an historian...I know how much evil happened in the name of religion everywhere in he world...
But I do have my private faith in the powers od the Universe and Nature ...
