You see, contrary to the lies that Muslims tell you about the Crusades and the Spanish Inquisition, the truth is that the overarching theme of the conversion of the Western world to modern religions has been a transition towards peace, while the more traditional religions (paganism, secular materialism, and materialist legalism) kept government in a state of constant violence and self-destruction.
Pure BS.
Secular materialism is not a religion.
And the conversion of the western world to be less religious has been a transition towards peace.
Secular Materialism is now called Atheism.
No, it isn't.
Atheism is a broad category encompassing everything that doesn't believe in a god.
Let me explain what we mean by constant violence. Every year, about 900,000 children die from abortion
They aren't children.
And that is vastly better than forcing women to be slaves, unable to control their own body.
You are trying to go backwards, and make humans into slaves.
That is not promoting peace.
Each year, a percent of those (it's small but possibly underreported) result in the deaths of their mothers.
And how many child births do?
The legalism that is Islam sends young men to war and to suicide bomb themselves. It also causes massive abuse and violence against women.
As do other religions, including Christianity. Nazi Germany was Christian.
What you are suggesting, turning into slaves with no control over their body is abuse and violence against women.
You see, materialism causes us to think of this world as real. It in turn causes you to think that you can end problems by killing them.
As opposed to religion which teaches you that this world is worthless, and that death is inconsequential.
Want to fight a war and send thousands to their deaths? Who cares, they will live on in the afterlife.
An afterlife makes life worthless and death inconsequential.
You had an accident that severely impaired you? That's okay, just die and you can get all that function back in the afterlife.
What's that? You got an easily preventable disease because you and others didn't bother taking precautions? Don't worry, if you die you will live on in the afterlife.
You are going to have a baby, even though you can't afford it, and it will undoubtable suffer in this world? Don't worry, just kill it before it is born (or even shortly after), send it straight to heaven where it can be safe and happy and you can live on knowing that you saved your baby.
In fact, extremely secular governments (such as China, USSR, North Korea) often led to state authority to kill people and take their rights. By contrast, the more spiritual a country is, the more they are unlikely they are to lend power to systems to oppress them. This for two reasons. (1) The leadership themselves sees problems as they cannot kill or deatroy to solve, (2) the citizens in turn do not worship their leaders.
Pure BS.
As shown above, when you believe in an afterlife, death is meaningless. So you can happily send countless people to their deaths.
If you add an allegedly omnibenevolent god judging people after, it is even easier.
If you kill someone and they were good, they go to heaven and are better off. If you kill someone and they were guilty, they go to hell "where they belong".
But more importantly, religion is all about oppressing people, demanding they follow a ridiculous set of rules and tormenting those who don't obey.
Instead of merely being an infidel that you don't like and can kill to solve your problem, they are an attack on something holy where it is your duty to kill them and send them to hell where they belong.
But even in practice, the more spiritual a country is, the more likely it is to be violent and the more likely it is to oppress and harm others.
Even in the western world, we see the US as a stark contrast to the rest, due to it being far more religious and far more violent.
So you see, religion and secularism are not at the same scale in terms of government. The founders wrote of a city on a hill (a term borrowed straight from religious texts), and talked of In God We Trust, or how we have rights given by their Creaor.
Sure, "rights", like the right to own a slave and treat it as you please as it is your property.
We have moved on from then, and don't need an evil POS to give us rights.
Moden secularists rewrite US history to be about slavery. Or maybe, seizing power over others is what occupies their thoughts. By contrast, rwligious countries arw not ony nonviolent but also free.
So why don't you go live in countries like Saudi Arabia, or ISIS, and so on.
Make sure you make it known you are a cross dresser.
See how long you think it is free and non-violent.
