Exactly. So this is really a rather pointless argument, seeing as neither side has proof, isnt it?
My initial point was thus:
Religion, or faith, rather, is a safe, pure thing. Its corruption and bigotry within human beings, along with our resistance to thinking for ourselves, that makes it a tool of hate.

Doesnt exactly relate, but its general message does.
