People Should Stop Arguing Over Religion!
There are millions of gods from hundreds of religions. Not to mention that one of the biggest religions happens to be a combination of atheist, agnostic, scientific-people, etc. Everyday i love to go on youtube, which is a debating site as well. Every video i see that has something "taboo-ed" or "strange" has hundreds of comments arguing over whether or not "god" "meant" to do it. Religion is one of the biggest belief structures humans can have hence its going to be the hardest to prove right or wrong.

Do I think people should stop arguing over religion? Yes. To argue and to kill for your own religion defeats the entire purpose of having a religion in the first place...unless of course your religion is all about killing others, and even then I think that would be considered a cult...

I see a lot of people saying that religion will always be argued about but very few stating that it shouldn't be argued about.

Sure. Do two things, and you'll solve all the problems:

1) Tell religious people to keep it in their homes and churches, not bother the unwilling.

2) Keep religion out of schools, government and the law.

Do that, and we'll all get along fine. You'll never hear a peep of criticism from me if they do that.

 No criticism from me either but lets be real, that is never going to happen. Religion is too deeply ingrained, even if say came absolute proof that we were right and there are no gods you would still have people denying it. We can dream of that utopian society but for the moment it stays and I suppose we have to respect peoples human rights.

Arman1013; I liked the fact that you asserted that "one of the biggest religions happens to be a combination of atheist, agnostic, scientific-people, etc. " I would agree that in the broad sense, naturalism i.e scientific naturalism i.e.methodological scientism, i.e materialism, i.e physicalism are all philosophies/worldviews just as any other religion is. That what makes a good argument about religion so much fun and, at many times, a good learning tool. When a "good" argument turns bad, with shouting, name calling, etc. Then that's a different category.

Religion is one of the few subjects other than sports, that raises such passion in people.And since I know nothing about sports other than how to play them I couldn't bear to not have religion around to stir things up, even if it does get a bit farkakte sometimes.

 Hitler did not kill over religion. Antisemitism was a part of it, but Hitler believed Jews were a different race, not only a different religion. He accused them of causing Germany to lose WW1 and blamed them for the signing of the Treaty of Versailles. The Jews were scapegoats. Much more to Hitler and the Nazi Party than a religious difference.

Religion is a belief system, there will always be more than one belief system, so there will always be arguments over religion. It's kind of pointless to say they should stop, they won't. And I don't see any problem with "arguing" over it anyway. My problem is when they start killing over it, or start to constrict human rights or freedom of thought or expression over it. Change the title to say "killing" instead and I'll salute it.
