These “big English words” you bemoan exist for a reason, namely to improve clarity and precision.
There would be little point in me repeating all of the arguments given earlier in this and other threads, particularly in this “Religion and Philosophy” sub-forum. Instead, I strongly urge you to read these posts carefully, and follow any links where such are provided. You may, however, wish to begin, by way of introduction, with this if Afrikaans is your home language.
In answer to your protestation that “religion consist of politics,” even if we accept that religions borrow from politics the use of certain methods (and vice-versa), it does not follow from this observation that they are the same thing, or have the same (or even comparable) objectives, or uniformly follow the same patterns in practice. See the definitions below, which clearly delineate two very different spheres of operation.
In answer to your anonymous quote about secular education, I give you Steven Weinberg, 1979 co-recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physics, who said: “Good people will do good things, and bad people will do bad things. But for good people to do bad things – that takes religion.”
To say that “this type of behavior [unnecessary and wasteful confrontation] is not religions fault but a human error (bankruptcy of morals)” is symptomatic of the way religious thinking corrupts people’s critical faculties by claiming to deal in “absolute truths” that are beyond question, but in reality are unfounded delusions. The muslim has no doubts that his worldview and morality, as reflected in allah’s words in the qur’an via muhammad, are beyond question; the christian, jew, hindu, etc., believes the same about his or her own morality and worldview based on different gods, prophets and holy books. Even within the major denominations there are sects that disagree with one another on foundational questions. And when they run afoul of one another, as they regularly do, which of these canons is the “true” one? How do you know it is the “true” one? Because, whichever answer you give, you’ll incur the blind disapproval, and perhaps the wrath, of a majority. Furthermore, each one has its own idea of what “tolerance” means (“I’m right and you’re wrong, but we’ll get along fine just as long as you don’t dare contradict me.”). That is why the religious mode is bankrupt. It is also why religious thinking is the very selfsame “human error” by which you wish to exonerate religion.
