>>Cooooome ON Dude - don't try to compare religion with democracy.
Why not? If it's true that religion is guilty of atrocities under religious government, then democracy/republicanism is responsible for atrocities committed under democratic/republic government. That the people voted for the culprit doesn't make it OK.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
