Poverty and illiteracy are the breeding grounds for social strife.Religious tensions are due to proslytization concept of Christianity and Islam.While Islam is doing it stridently,Christianity is doing it in a subtle way,under the garb of social service.The central theme of all Religions is the same;unfortunately people who are supposed to propagate by living the way prescribed by their Faith, are misinterpreting for their personal gains.Unless common man understands this, there will be no end to this debate.

Religious killings in India (include pakistan too which historically is India) is due to presence of Christians and Muslims. It has got nothing to do with poverty. It has more to do with thought process that is imparted to Christians and Muslims by irrational, insane books and preachers. Jainis, Sikhs, numerous tribes,
Buddhists, Parsis, Jews, Zoroastrians, sects like Osho have lived in peace in India. Muslims have the habit of living with violence while christians have become a bit reformed but incite violence through their irrational acts of demeaning other religions and Sanatan Dharm. What is true for India is true for entire world… Misery is due to Christianity and Islam.

Imagine no religions. And how much simpler it would be without them to then go in and begin to educate people and help them start climbing out of poverty.
