I practice no religion but have studied a little & all the worlds major ones seem to say "treat your neighbour as you would wish to be treated".
It is horrendous what has been done in the name of this belief system or that since time immemorial-and while the world operates on a basis of fear & greed-nothings likely to change anytime soon. Its a great pity that people aren't allowed to live in peace because of the warmongers . What people do & what they say----two different things entirely. I will have nothing to do with politicians of any persuasion & organised religion to my way of thinking is just another form of control.
I am grateful to my country for many things, particularly my education that taught me to question everything & take nothing at face value but I am especially glad that I am now too old to take the "Queens Shilling" and try to impose British(English) will on my fellow man.
Mankind thinks itself so civilised & advanced but we don't learn the lessons of the past do we?
