Trade passed through Italian hands to Western Europe at a large profit that created a commercial power, which served as the economic base for the Italian Renaissance (History World Int., 2007). More recently, organized religion led al-quaeda to fly two passenger jets into the world trade centre, because those involved were promised eternal life after death. Originally, organized religion united society, but the building animosity between religious groups has only accomplished separation, stereotypes, and war amongst peoples.

Further, The spread of certain diseases can be linked to organized religion. Specific examples of human suffering are not hard to find. For example the Catholic Church refuses to countenance condom use to stop the spread of HIV / AIDS (Hogan, 2009). Hogan cites to empirical data that demonstrates the transmission of the virus is far less likely in countries that have no religiously created...

He argues that the only objection to condom use is spiritual, and any rational human being without a spiritual objection would encourage as much barrier contraception as possible. Based on the Catholic Church's staunch zero tolerance policy regarding condom usage and the increasing level of AIDS in Catholic societies, one can conclude that a purely theological objection to contraception has undoubtedly contributed to the spread of the disease.
