Abstract
Murder for religion is as old as much of human history, including the ancient world and later the crusades to cleanse the "holy land" for Christians or from "infidels" aka Christians, depending on which religion is doing the labeling. During the conquest of the western hemisphere by European missionaries--the choice was "accept Christ or be put to the sword."
In our modern time, religious war has been resurrected to new heights which may actually destroy humankind with weapons of mass destruction. It is critical that humanity wake up from our illusion that there is but one god, one true faith, and that killing for religion is not the greatest folly of our species.
