The suicide bombers were manipulated and exploited by their inadequate grasp of their religion to believe that by causing maximum damage to their enemies upon their deaths, they will die as martyrs and would be presented with countless rewards when they reach Heaven. Such is the blind devotion to their cause that many of them willingly lay down their lives on a fool’s errand without a blink of an eye. However, many a time, the chief casualties consist of innocent woman and children of the same religion, a mistake written off as ‘a sacrifice that has to be made for the greater good’. It is only when religions come to the fore and aids the diabolical teachings of some misguided people that such a callous statement can occur. Hence, even indirectly, religion has led to the ruin and death of many men, with more to come in the future.

The teaching of Science has not been spared from the biased taint of religion. Once an antithesis to Science, religion has now started to play a role in many American classrooms. Numerous Christian community leaders, especially those residing in the Bible Belt, have called for the teaching of Intelligent Design during Science lessons, on par with Darwin’s widely accepted and esteemed Theory of Evolution. Intelligent Design or ID is just a front for the story of Creation in the book of Genesis, in the Bible. The farce that resulted can only be described as an affront to scientific beliefs in education. Scientists throughout the world regardless of race or religion protested, stating in no uncertain terms that doing so would represent a step-back for Science, a setback in its development. The spreading of religion into secular fields of our lives is also widely denounced by people who believe that religion and education should be separated, not intertwined. This debacle is further debated by the fact that Intelligent Design is slanted towards Christianity while ignoring the various creation theories of other religions.

Religion is shown to be prone to misinterpretation and even worse, the interpretation to follow one’s own whims and needs. It also presented itself as having a strong helping hand behind numerous deaths and conflicts throughout mankind’s history. Lastly, it is encroaching on the progress of humanity in the field of Science by presenting itself as a valid alternative to the more orthodox theories of our world which are backed up by credible evidences and rigorous testing.

The world would be a much more decent place, if not better, without religion. Religion is a prime avenue of exposing and highlighting our differences rather than giving priority to our similarities. Instead of becoming more civil, religions have torn civilizations apart, based on nothing more than our beliefs.
