That's just th b.s the media puts out there or what you choose to believe.All religions are just as violent when you read the scriptures. One constant is that god is one pissed of dude all the time unless you really kiss his ass then you may just be wounded but not dead. All the books are violent and gorey. Religion was a way to govern society's before our modern laws that are seperated from holy texts. Look at how many of our laws today share with the early conmadments. Although government and religion are suppose to be seperated they will always be deeply rooted within one another.
Tho shall not kill(murder/ manslaughter), tho shall not steal( theft or fraud),tho shall not bear false wittness( lying on legal papers and pudgury) etc etc...
How we veiw religion as a whole is an outdated relic train of thought . Technicality the rule of modern law has replaced the role of religion for our sense of morality. Modern law is infact actually the rewitten rules of religion here. It just is re written more frequently.
Believing in a Religion of one almighty being is only a way to justify ourselves of a purpose for our exsistance . It gives individuals a way of being able to answer the parts of life we can not explain . It use to rain because 'It was gods' will" although we know now many enviormental factors are actually the reason it rains when it does. Religion is a way to solve all of the answers we cant or refuse to belive. It is also a lazy way to answer those questions tho. If you can't rationalize a reason then "god did it" for some people its easier to say god did it to have answer or can't except being dealt a bad card in life.
