Not all religions do but more importantly morality is a tool of social cohesion.

@freepatriot There have been plenty of religions that encourage murder and theft. The Indian Thugs come to mind immediately. It's just that groups like that tend to get murdered out of existence by everyone around them.

@freepatriot

Because they don't. The BuyBull for instance outright advocates murder, both by Yahweh and by men according to Torah laws. For examples...

And that's not to mention rape, slavery, child abuse, etc. Then there's Islam... Apart from quoting more chapter and verse, you can also judge the character of their supposed religion by the nature of their actions. If you think that all religions forbid any of those things, you really don't know much about the subject. If you think even Abrahamic religion forbids that, you know even less. Moreover, why would you allow such a demonstrably heinous belief system to dictate your own actions?

@freepatriot Judaism outright advocates for homosexuality, theft (from gentiles), and by extension, murder of anyone who opposes their rule (as long as it doesn't impede their other objectives).
