The problem with the whole issue is that all of us need to talk much more about religion in general.<p>Many people feel the need to believe in something which extends beyond physical reality and that&#x27;s the reason we have freedom of religion.<p>Time again history has shown though that religions often tend to go overboard in terms of violence so most modern societies have taken a pragmatic approach to offer freedom of religion <i>under certain checks</i> (i.e. not infringing on the freedoms of others from a secular perspective).<p>That said Einstein believed in god so don&#x27;t belittle someone because of their religion and most importantly don&#x27;t let fear take over your humanity (most people never got asked if they wanted to be &quot;a muslim&quot;, &quot;a christian&quot; or &quot;a jew&quot;).<p>What we need is more dialogue, not wars - those usually just create even more suffering and pain.<p>Talk to people - especially to the ones you don&#x27;t feel comfortable talking to - we are all together on this pale blue dot.
