Frequently (though of course, not always) by other religious people. I don't think that argument holds a lot of weight.
- fdsak 10y agoDon't you think those "other religious people" may have used religion as pretext to achieve whatever they desired. E.g currently "democratic" societies act the same way to spread "democracy" through all means and at all costs.
