[QUOTE="InterestedAtheist, post: 73665591, member: 158168"] Something I'd like to point out. The examples you give are mainly from the twentieth century. By this point, two trends are clear. One, that organised religion had lost much of its power. The Popes used to command armies; they no longer do. Two, that it was getting easier and easier to kill large amounts of people. So, to answer your "why aren't religions responsible for genocidal events" question, perhaps we should consider that by the time the means existed for them to do so, they had lost the influence to make it happen. Which, considering the long and bloody history of religions across the planet, is probably a very good thing. [/QUOTE]
