From the point of view of western civilisation the only religion that matters is Christianity. I find it curious that out all of religions in the world today that a historically small and minor religious sect should end up with so much control over human affairs. What was it about this sect that the Roman Emperor Constantine saw to his advantage? By the fourth century AD Christianity was the state religion and anything else was pure heresy. Much blood spilt there after and still is steeped in it by people spreading the good word. Religion creates prejudices but then I'm generalising like I always do. I have no problem with people believing in an higher power the problem is all the pointless rituals that surrounds a fair proportion of these faiths and their constant basic intolerance to everyone else who doesn't believe as they do.
