Appeal To Emotion
It should also be noted that a rejection of moral relativism is not an affirmation of moral absolutism. This is what is referred to as a False Dilemma.

To claim I am "anti-religion" is completely absurd, given my posting history on MartialTalk. I regularly quote mystics and luminaries from both contemplative Christianity and Mahayana Buddhism.
It should be noted, however, that there are significant correlations between traditional religion and social persecution, at least on the part of the laity. Specifically, Christians demonstrated overall higher degrees of prejudice than non-Christians and traditional Christians demonstrated overall higher degrees of prejucide than liberal Christians.
Of course, this is just correlation. It tells us nothing about causation.
