I will desagree with you on the figures.  Muslims, Christians and Jews are
a great population, stop.  Well, you assume they think that, because that
is written in their holy books, but... this idea is forced upon them.  It
cannot be considered a real believe of the people, but a believe they are
subjected to. The religious believes are forced over the people.  You only
need to read a little their holy scriptures to see this is a morality
imposed over people.

And even if homosexuality is not to be advisable for anyone, it has to be
tolerated in a secular society.  And what I take out of all this arguments
is that religious people are a venom for the peace, they are hatemongers,
and generators of wars and cruelty.  You only need to read the Bible or the
Koram.
They are continously justifying all sort of wars and killings of people in
a genocidal way.
 These gods, are genocidal gods.  And it is a shame for humanity that
we are  still praising them.
