.... But I always make the distinction that religion isn't the problem, fundamentalism in religion is the problem.
Just leaving fundamentalism behind is enough for a much more beautiful world. And it also seems possible to accomplish.

I'm a happy None of the Above but I sure do have many level-headed, fun, reasonable Christian, Jewish and Muslim friends. They don 't need to be addressed because they aren't the problem.

Still.... Leaving all religion behind would be fine.
