Totally agree with you! Fanaticism is nothing but fooling yourself. god is thing to be kept in heart and not on sleeve/head/beard.
Unfortunately, people don't realize, mulla's / so called pandits/ religious leaders are spreading their views on religion to everyone. People who ask WHY? and want reasoning are discouraged. you do that when u resist change, which is a sign of a blocked mind. A blocked mind has no space for knowledge for it. A book/ religion can not stop evolution for ever? can it. Change is inevitable. Religion is for inner self, whats shown outside, is for pure show. Please realize hidden power/social politics behind religious groups. Groups are formed by insecure people. Religion should be as open as choosing clothes, you choose what you believe, and what makes you happy, and not what you inherit. How can we inherit belief? belief comes from our heart/mind. Please awake, fellow country men
