The point here is how wrong people can be in their judgement about others and the persecution they levy on others for religious reasons.
But really, people can be wrong and persecute you whether or not religion is involved.
Whatever organization is involved in that persecution, of course they will be viewed in a different light.
It's usually a group that has physical, financial, etc., power over you that can literally crush you. It's much bigger than religion.
There r people that r like this also who may have no physical or financial power over u. They just practice being mean. Wouldn't u think that religion would at least show forgiveness and mercy? When justice becomes your model u run the risk of being wrong in your implementation of justice and who can really know ? How can the views of others be dangerous (unless of course they r implemented to harm others.)? It shows an insecurity at not being able to control life.... control people and control circumstances. Some people just want to be in control of everything.
