Ask yourself this, is the current government's doing away with academic research for the good of the people or simply to keep them dumb and under their control?  Take a look at my previous blog post about what's happening in US politics currently.

Throughout history, many wars and battles have had religious bases or strong religious motivations. While counting the exact number is complex due to overlapping causes, some of the most significant religious wars and conflicts include:

  • The Crusades (1096–1291): A series of military campaigns initiated by the Catholic Church to reclaim Jerusalem and the Holy Land from Muslim control.timetoast+1

  • The Maccabean Revolt (167 BC): Jewish rebellion against Greek and Hellenistic influence to preserve religious traditions.telegrafi

  • The European Wars of Religion (16th to early 18th centuries), including:

    • The French Wars of Religion (1562–1598) between Catholics and Protestants.museeprotestant+1

    • The Thirty Years’ War (1618–1648), a devastating conflict involving Catholic and Protestant states in the Holy Roman Empire.study+1

  • The Spanish Inquisition (late 15th century into the 1500s), involving persecution to enforce Catholic orthodoxy.timetoast

  • Other significant religious conflicts:

    • Various Islamic-Christian wars and Crusades beyond the Holy Land.

    • Inter-Christian conflicts (Catholic vs Protestant factions).

    • Conflicts in the Middle East, such as the Six-Day War (1967) and others with religious dimensions.wikipedia+1

Religious motivations have often intertwined with political, territorial, and ethnic causes, making purely religious wars difficult to quantify definitively. However, dozens of major wars, countless battles, and long-lasting conflicts in world history have involved religion as a central or significant factor.wikipedia

In summary, religious wars have spanned from antiquity through modern times, including tens of major conflicts and hundreds of smaller battles worldwide where religion was either the main cause or a strong underlying factor.libertymagazine+2

All these wars that were faith based and politically based, and we are the survirors of these conflicts only to put into power a president that has no formal education and has deregulated things similar to when the 2008 financial crisis hit, and has now installed loyalist's or (yes men) who always go along with what he says no matter what with nothing factual evidence to back up anything.  Does anyone else think this is very dangerous?  And what should we do about it to continue growing instead of going backwards in time?  We should be paying attention to what the happiest countries in the world actually what all countries of the world are doing right and changing our policies to reflect what is working for them.  No one country is getting everything right but many of them do get many things right and in turn their people are the most satisfied with their government, This is why we need to remake democracy and make it a social democracy with the help of the police and military to make it "For all the people, and by all the people" that is the only part that should stay because right now it's for the ultra wealthy and by the ultra wealthy who don't care about the 99% of the US population.
