Great essays on religion & violence by graduate students in Freethought Today (jan/feb 2016) FFRF [View all]

We should get and publicize these essays by students on why religious faith is inextricably linked to violence. It's about f... time that we held religion accountable for these crimes against humanity; and these young people are doing an excellent job of it. Great issue to circulate: The essays are as follows:

"Nothing to fear but faith itself" Benjamin Schwarz
"What could possibly be the cause of religious terrorism?" Alex Flitter
"The fundamental link between religion and violence" Emilee Prado
"Religious perversion:ignoring the violence" Tara Clifford
"An explosive mix: Religion and violence" Samuel David Capps
"Religion as a primary cause of war" Sara Rose
