I disagree; greed (for power of any kind I suppose) would be a greater root of all evil. Sure, some religions teach people to act on their greed, but I don't believe in some religions, I believe in the God of Abraham Isaac and Joseph who sent Jesus to die for everyone. The whole idea is about selflessness. If people twist it into evil by taking advantage of people with the power they have as a leader in a church, then they are the problem, not Christianity.
I LOL'd when you said that historical leaders didn't kill people for money. That's just such a silly thing to say. Most of our wars were/are fought over land and resources, not religion. You don't seem to understand human nature at all.
No. Humanity is the source of all evil. You only have to look at the 20th century with the Nazis and communists were religion was taken away.
Atheists cannot hold some *insane* traditions, but they also hold *no* rules dictated by their beliefs. Most religions say that "killing is bad" in one way or another, while an Atheist by definition can do whatever he wants as there is no authority and no punishment.
Stalin, Pol Pot, Hitler - none of them were religious. I don't believe Genghis Khan had any religious affiliation, in fact he largely allowed religious freedom. So while religion has often been used for evil, there certainly is plenty of immense evil that is free of it. So to answer your question, no, definitely not.
Indeed religion is harmful. It has held back technological progress as well as the spiritual development of humanity. Lucifer wanted to make us gods like him, but Jehovah prevented him from doing so. Religion has been used as a tool to suppress occult knowledge and keep us on a lower level of consciousness. Not to mention all the wars motivated by religion
Hmm. Communisn has killed about 80 million to 100 million people just in the last 100 years or so... and communism is almost always atheistic. en.wikipedia.org/.../Mass_killings_under_Communist_regimes
Maybe it's atheism that's the root of all evil.
Yeah, because the atheism of the Khmer Rouge was the root of SO MUCH VIRTUE!
Do religious people do evil? Yes.
Do irreligious people do evil? Also yes.
Do hardcore atheists do evil? Also also yes.
If religion is the root of ALL evil, the irreligious and the hardcore atheist would not be capable of doing evil.
However, the irreligious and the hardcore atheist CAN do evil, thus, religion cannot be the root of ALL evil.
QED.

Stupid mytake. Ignorance is the root of evil. Sadly, there are enough ignorant religious people about their beliefs to create a good horrible stereotype.
What´s also sad is those who don´t believe and who are ignorant, don´t know what theyre saying as well. They create a fight for nothing.
Anything radical should vanish. People should gain the right knowledge.
Apparently, religion is not the root of all evil. The two countries in all of history, who murdered the most people, were atheistic countries. China and the Soviet Union.
nailed it. nihilism inevitably leads to destruction.
Yes, look at any modern conflict it is all based on religion, Iran, iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Chechnya, Bosnia, israel, all religion based
Then "WHO CREATED US AND THE VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE UNIVERSE"
If you are thinking about science then, I am really sorry but you are idiot and can't even think properly. No Science can't explain a shit and never will be.
Imagine a world where humans depend on humanity and mankind?
No thanks. Too scary to even think about.
I rely on My heavenly Father Yahweh.
You think religion is about dependence? What a naive view.
Without reading your post, no. It's not.
While I'm not religious, I think that religion can help people to find the right way in their life.
It's the bad apples who (ab) use religion to justify their evil causes that make thoughts like this a scary possible reality.
"Money is the root to all Evil..." Says your Bible.
Religion? A Relationship with God, Your Father Above, Love, Is your Guide.
Get Back on Track, HE is the Key with Thee. xx
Religion was a necessary step in evolution of Mankind
Why is there religion? ↗
Nope, it's money and as I grow older and through what I've experienced, this is turning out to be so true.
No. It is not. "Why, then, 'tis none to you, for there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so." -Hamlet, Shakespeare.
I would argue that any action can be perceived as evil or good.
The combination of greed, ambition, selfishness, pride... is the root of all evil
