Any clear thinker who looks at what religion has done must assume religion has no God

The concept of religion has been a topic of debate and discussion for centuries. While it has provided a sense of purpose and meaning for many people, the question of whether or not religion truly has a divine source remains unanswered. As a clear thinker examines the history of religion, it becomes increasingly difficult to reconcile the actions of religious institutions with the idea of a loving and all-knowing God.

Many atrocities have been committed in the name of religion, from the Crusades to the Spanish Inquisition to modern-day religious extremist groups. It is hard to imagine a loving God condoning such actions or actively participating in them. It seems more likely that these actions are the result of human greed, fear, and a desire for power.
