Yes it can be assumed. But there is little evidence that it does affect negatively.

Yeah, that's what I consider the beginning of the modern age. The reason pollution got so bad is because technology made it possible. I'm sure there were people during the Middle Ages who didn't care about the environment, but they weren't running factories and dumping huge amounts of oil in the ocean.
[/QUOTE]The difference with Israel is that they actually do support women's rights and gay rights. They also support freedom of religion.
Most of the Islamic World is far more right wing on social issues than any Western conservative. That's why I don't understand the left's tendency to defend Islam. It makes no sense other than to get the votes of the Muslims here.[/QUOTE]
But Israel doesn't support Palestinian rights. A government can be far-right and still have some liberal qualities. Marijuana is legal in North Korea. That doesn't mean North Korea isn't a hardcore Fascist police-state.
The Left just accepts that all religions are essentially the same and what actually matters is culture and government. There are still Christian countries today where they kill women for "witchcraft." So how come that doesn't happen in all Christian-majority countries? It's because Christianity is molded by the people and politics of the country. The religion itself is nothing.
And it's the same thing with Islam. There are Muslim countries where women do have rights. Even Turkey, which doesn't have a great record on women's rights, elected their first female prime minister before America had our first female president.
Personally, I think all religion is bad because it teaches people to respect wrong ideas. And maybe some religions are worse than others because their bad ideas haven't become taboo yet, such as Christianity supporting Zionism. But when a religious idea does become taboo, it usually dies out, which is why you don't see Wiccans being burned to death in today's Europe.

Want to know what's very anti-science? 6,000 years old Earth.
Off topic wanderings. Redirection fallacy.
Okay then let's discuss the topic.

Define 'pollution'.
No one is dumping oil in the ocean. During the middle ages, most people were farmers and ranchers. They cared about the environment enough to farm and ranch.
Each religion is unique. They are not the same. Each is based on it's own unique circular argument.
Democrats only care about 'culture and government' that takes the form of an oligarchy or dictatorship, with themselves as the 'elite' of course.
There is no such thing as a 'Christian country'. Christianity is a religion, not a nation.
All religions exist. They all have their beliefs. That is not nothing.
There is no such thing as a 'Muslim country'. Islam is a religion, not a nation.
Turkey has many religions in it.
What about your religion?
What's wrong with Zionism? BTW, Israel is already formed.
Largely because paganism is a popular religion in Europe.

People already are.
Then why did you address me by going off topic yourself? Reply to one of my posts that are on topic.
Oh no... now the spammaster is back to spamming.
What's happening then?
EDIT: Ah, I forgot about the DNC convention. Granted, COVID19 might postpone it.
Little evidence in an environment where revealing said evidence can endanger your career.
I hope not. I lust longingly for the splendid spectacle of Milwaukee cops and the Wisconsin National Guard doing to Bernie Bros and Bernie Hos what Daley did to the '68 rioters in Chicago.
The whole world is watching.
That conflicts with the Hippocratic Oath.
Not all religions are essentially the same, however. Just like not all cultures are the same, or equal for that matter.
Now the spam master is spamming again.
A lot of things done by the medical community can conflict with that. Sometimes, politics drives it -- other times, economics.
It's like how science can be tainted by politics and money.

Clearly they are not afraid to express their concerns. No job loss.

See, that's what I mean. The Right, especially the Alt-Right on Youtube, has been pointing to the Cologne New Year rapes as proof that letting in Muslims has resulted in mass rape. But this happened back in 2015. Five years later, there hasn't been another case like this. Another case that keeps coming up is one where a Muslim migrant raped a young boy at a public pool in Vienna. But this also happened in 2015. The reason the Alt-Right hasn't been able to use newer examples is because it's just really rare that they happen.
There has been cancelled music festivals in Sweden, but that's not because there's a rape problem in Sweden, it's because people believe there is.

If Dave Chappelle can survive a few whiney SJW cucks, I'm sure doctors can too. Yeah, there will be backlash, but it's not like it's going to hurt their careers.

All religions are the same in that they all change depending on the culture. The religion does influence the culture, but not nearly as much as the culture influences the religion. Christianity is worse than Hinduism in that Christianity encourages people to support Israel. But if America were to ever turn on Israel, and Zionism became taboo, American Christianity would drop Zionism just like it dropped slavery and witch-hunts.
Another important factor is that when living standards go up, religiosity goes down. So as long as we keep improving society, every religion will continue to become more secular and Western like American Islam, until all these religions die out.
Unfortunately, the increasing Globalization of the West is causing feelings of alienation and economic hopelessness, which is causing far-right religious movements like the Rad Trad Catholics. So yeah, we probably will see some religious extremism in the future if this keeps up.
