If religious groups like Christianity would just keep their beliefs to themselves there wouldn't be so many problems. But, for too long (and contrary to what their bible preaches)Christians have been judging others and telling people how to live their lives. And it's not only ridiculous but sickening that religious groups still possess such power and influence in today's world. Wasn't it just recently that yet, another metal concert was shut down? And for what reason, can anyone justify that to me? And that is only a simple example of the countless examples of absolute bullshit that exists today regarding the matter.
I think people should indeed keep their religion/beliefs to themselves but when it affects peoples' rights and freedoms, people have to stand up for themselves. Homosexuals, for example, do not have the same rights largely because of religious groups and their influence. The fact that anyone would fight to deny people such rights, freedoms etc. is absolutely disgusting.
