    As an agnostic/likely atheist, there’s a difference between religion and extremism. People can be religious without wanting to murder those who don’t believe the same things as they do, just like an atheist could still be a political extremist.

      There is a difference but most people do not make the distinction and dedicate their lives to upholding the power structures of extremist factions of their religions instead of speaking out and changing denominations to one that doesn’t trade in human suffering.
