when jesus reincarnated in the form of lennon & yoko he said: imagine the world without religion.
now seriously,
the main problem is that most religions claim to be the "only truth" - therefore creating divisions against each other and non-religious people.
although it's just one of those things, if not for religion, race, nationality and culture, human beings will always find a way to hate each other. (and all of those things are used/reinforced to justify actions regarding politics/economy).
human beings define themselves by what they love, and also by what they hate and despise.
i agree that taking measures to make religion a private matter rather than public preaching would probably benefit us all.
what you believe or what you say in the context of your religion does not concern me, but i think what rob is saying is that even today we often see public displays of religion inciting hatred/discrimination/prejudice.
