For the most part, some people are just irresponsible, ignorant or careless. To blame religion for this, strikes me as silly. I dont believe in God, but i think Religion has given us much. Each society was built on religion of some kind. I think religion gets demonized to much these days. It isnt the religion causing hardache, but what man does with it. Should we blame science and intelligence for the invention of the Atomic bomb? Most religions promote self exploration and peace...,is that a bad thing?
I subscribe to the duality of man. There are positive and negative energies within us all. Whichever side of the yin-yang inspires hate, greed and destruction is, often, more appealing. Doing the right thing can be arduous and complicated. Religion, sometimes, can be a guide on how to do the right thing. That darker and more appealing side of man, however, told someone one day that Religion can be exploited to hold power over man. Just like when Science told that man that he could make an ultimate weapon of destruction.

Faith in God does not relieve me of personal responsibility. Rather, it is God who holds me personally responsible. Without an objective standard by which to measure, it is impossible to hold anyone responsible for anything. As a Christian, the character of my God sets that standard.
