 My key takeaway from all this is that "Religion, is the root of all evil". All of it.

 I wouldn't go that far, but religion, like policing and politics, has always attracted the corrupt and the very evil.

 Yes. Maybe I was being a little harsh but I still stand by the statement. I'm a "Christian" in name as I was christend as a baby, I didn't obviously concent to this but there we are. Are the 10 commandments a good code to live your life by? Well yes, of course they are. Do I believe that Jesus was the son of God? Nope. Muhammad the prophet of Allah? Nope. All "Moderates" of most religions are absolutely fine. It's the fucking lunatic fringe of each one that causes all the evil, ergo "Religion is the root of all evil"......That and Central Bankers🤷🏻‍♂️.
