Disagree re Islam. It contributes to its adherents. Whether you like its practices or not, it is a socially cohesive glue for the people in Muslim countries. I would completely agree that it has no place being practiced in non-Muslim countries; it is a religion without tolerance, poorly adapted to deal with outsiders, and like Christianity relentlessly seeks to convert others even when it doesn’t suit those people (Christianity just does it very differently). I have no problem with Muslims practicing their religion in Muslim countries. But I don’t want them being subsidised to come into Christian countries, live off welfare, and then effect their politics and demographics towards their own religious ends. That however is specifically a problem with the Christian countries enabling it in the name of tolerance because its leaders haven’t read the New Testament.

I disagree with this framing, would not say organized religions create social cohesion rather they take advantage of naturally occurring cooperative groups. Then second order effect, supply the optimal frameworks elevating the worst of us. Organized religions, governments, these are emergent collectivist mine viruses that abuse use and encourage the vulnerable. Possibly an evolutionary left over from hunter gatherer small tribe days. Which naturally gets hijacked post agricultural era.

I firmly agree. Each country and each nation should be allowed to govern themselves as they see fit. That said, each nation has a tendency to live beyond its means and so try to conquer others to pay for it. Religion is shaped by man rather than faith which is shaped by God.
