6. Religious intolerance is a problem many religions have failed to solve

There are always a few nutjobs who fail to acknowledge that each and every individual is given the gift of free will in addition to the gift of reason. As a result, not everybody will come to the same conclusions, and they have not yet (or perhaps never will?) come to tolerate those different views. It is religious intolerance that has claimed the lives of so many innocent men, women, and children, and it has been used as a tool by those who wish to seek power for their own gain to divide a populace before conquering it. People never learn.
