Yes, but Religions like to pick fights with us and start wars with countries and expect us to die for a false prophet.
So no, we won't budge until Religion learns to respect our fellow brothers.
Sigh, clearly you dont get the point also Stalin,Hitler,Muslini, and the like were all horrible men who did not believe in religion men will always fight dont blame religion.
They weren't motivated to kill people who didn't believe though. True, religion is notthe cause of evil. Evil just has found ways to manifest itself into religions, and now the modern teachings are tainted. But even if somehow everyone becomes secular, evil would still find a way. Hell, most people don't want to admit it, but by the definition of religion, Atheism is a religion. Now, they aren't an organized religion, but say in the future it becomes one, Atheism is just as capable of starting a holy war as any other religion. Now I'm not saying that's what all Atheists are like, nothing like that. All I'm saying is evil could seep into it. I'm not saying Atheism is bad in anyway, just that being Atheist doesn't make you immune from being corrupted by evil people if you're not careful. You think it sounds dumb now, but consider the reputation of crusades Christianity has. If you told people that these things would happen back when it was just starting out, they'd laugh you off too. After all, there religion is based on peace and love. Again, I'm not saying these things would happen and I'm not against Atheism. I'm just saying that religion is not the problem, the problem is people who exploit organization and sheep who follow it.
