I am glad that we agree on 2/4 points. That is good development. :)

Now as you said

^^ statement is quite correct, as in the case of crusades or muslim invasion of other countries. But at the same time more destruction is caused by people who came to conquer and rule, not becuase of religion but for self satisfaction or for Lust of Land and resources. For example. Alexander, Ghengis khan, Romans,Nepoleon, Hitler, Great Britain, Mossoline, Saddam Hussain and many more. So they out number religionists by a large number.

Religion has definately played a part in all those destructions and killing of human being. But In comparison with other motives, this is quite small. What do you say ?

Now Point number 3 as you stated..

Now i have limited knowledge and i assumed that people with no religion are atheist. i.e they dont believe in any God(s) and any other religion for the matter of fact.

But I searched the net and now i am confused after seeing this

Can you explain the difference

Well, Atheist can be defined as the "One who disbelieves or denies the existence of God or gods".
Non-religious,,, um, I would like to believe that non-religious poeple are those who hold that there are two principles in the universe, the active principle and the passive. The passive principle, then, is a substance without quality, i.e., matter, whereas the active principle is the reason inherent in the substance, that is God. For he is everlasting and the artificer of each several thing throughout the whole extent of matter.
I would put myself in the second category.

Mate, the Stoics have never said any thing about them being religious or non-religious. As you have noticed in my post I said “I would like to believe that rnon-religious people are those who”. of course I like the way the Stoics think about nature and humans being part of the nature. and I also said that I would put my self in that category cos I do think that is right way of looking at life.

Ok. Have a safe journey. :wave:

Thanks for the offer, but I get all my fav drinks easily here.
We can discuss further after you return, if you like.
