The kind of Christianity these people want will entail massive censorship of hundreds of school libraries, extending deep even into the hard sciences.

Hmmm, I wonder why religion is losing membership in droves?

The Christian right has now decided that they will only survive by using government to force their scam.

Religion is nothing more than a means to control the sheep. ALL religion.

Buddhism is more of a philosophy than a religion. Philosophy with dogma. At least it doesn't advocate hatred on the same level as modern Christianity.

There's no deity in Buddism. Also there's no effort to convert "the heathens".
It's a personal journey.

Yet there are militant Buddhists in places like Myanmar.

"Buddhism is one of the world's largest religions and originated 2,500 years ago in India. Buddhists believe that the human life is one of suffering, and that meditation, spiritual and physical labor, and good behavior are the ways to achieve enlightenment, or nirvana.
