Are people in this thread trying to make a distinction between religious and cultural practice, as though any religious practice is not just cultural practice?
Also, what's not a "barbaric aged religion"? Scientology?
How can judging the barbarity of any religion be done except on the basis of cultural mores which, if they're actually different things and religion holds a special place, can't be as important as religious practice?
So many things I don't understand. 

 This is a wacky conversation happening in here.
