In the US we built them where we genocided the native populations. God was apparently asleep or hiding during every genocide his followers participated in.

What soldiers used to say in France to convince themselves that they did nothing wrong was that if you killed an innocent they would go straight to the paradise and have a good time. Therefore you could kill anyone. They massacred entire towns of tens of thousands and still as of today, the Church commemorates these events as the right thing to do. They even write songs to brag about these great croisades

Damn, that is heart breaking. Speaking of France, I am a bit jealous that they have the constitutional right to freedom FROM religion. That is kind of amazing, both for the people, the government, and the religions themselves. Religion and politics should never, ever mix. To do so corrupts both the state and the religion. (Just my two cents)
