Huge difference. Never heard of evangelicals chopping heads off or
torching a person for being an "infidel". Arranged marriage of children,
female/child mutilation and other things seem absent with evangelicals.
Nope, Taliban are a bread out of a barbaric medieval past for sure.

But agree in that religious conversion of others is often the root of
religious problems in achieving peace. The other being a ego maniac
sociopath wanting totalitarian and fascist power over others.

You haven't heard of Christians chopping off heads or setting people
afire for religious reasons, eh? Or Christian arranged marriages?

If not, then you haven't spent any quality time studying history.
And you don't have to go back to medieval times for examples.

When was the last Christian stoning of a woman for committing adultry in
the US? Which day last week did they do this in the Islamic Republic of
Iran or within the Taliban infested borders of Afghanistan?

Seems that one religion has advanced in their thinking over time while
the other, Islam, is still living in the 7th century.

When was the last christian murder of an abortion clinic doctor? When
was the last christian attack on an abortion clinic? When was the last
incident of sexual abuse committed by christian ministers on minors?
When was the last incident of young women being forced into polygamous
marriages to men three times their age? When was the last incident of
christians killing muslims to accomplish ethnic cleansing? When was the
last incident of christian evangelists converting tribes and villages of
indigenous people and in the process killing their culture.

Seems like some muslims and some christians are still living in the 7th
century.

Organized religion...it's time to bury it.

How's that boat of yours, Bertie? :)
