Which do you think is the worst influence on the world, and why?
Islam: competing with Christianity for the inspiring the most violent radicals today, infamous for oppressing women. Frequently attempts to infiltrate government to increase powers of oppression. Certain denominations and religious leaders inspire suicide violence with promises of pussy in the afterlife.
Christianity (in general): Longest tradition of violence, genocide, and oppression of all religions through history. Currently responsible for oppression of gays, and highly active in attempting to influence government.
Catholicism (in specific): Largest organizer of Christians worldwide. Historically, instigated campaigns of genocide against non-christians. Currently responsible for hindering prosecution of child molesters, propogating the AIDS epidemic through campaigns against condoms and birth control, and extorting massive quantities of money ("tithes") from its followers, especially among poor classes. Historically and currently opposed to and hinders scientific progress of any kind.
Judaism: Played a part in the death of Jesus, depending on the version of the story. That's about it for a long time, as they repeatedly get the long squirty shaft from everyone else. Recently, Jewish Israel turns around and gives the same treatment to the Palestinians (who give as good as they get, of course).
Hinduism: Aside from creating another culture group for conflict with other groups, can't really think of anything bad.
Any others I've forgotten that are worth mentioning?
