But what about other hate groups, Hannibal? And what if someone dislikes a religion because of its practices, not ignorant prejudice?
So, the National Socialists were also a religion too?
*scratches head* You just must be so far above me I can't even begin to comprehend it... Wait! I got it!
That's what he's trying to say.

Did you draw inspiration from posting a picture of a fan on a computers processor
Or...
are you a poster for fans who draw pictures on computer processors from Inspiron?
Think about it, won't you?
And about that picture, you're way off base. He's trying to say something more akin to this:

Aren't those more of philosophies than religions though? I think of religion as something that involves some sort of practice, such as meditation, prayer, or attendance at services, or having some moral code or list of rules by which to live one's life, but that might just be my own perception of what a religion is.
In any case, humankind has always twisted things like religion and technology into new reasons and ways to gain power and kill each other. We think that knowledge and morality will help to pull us out of a primitive mindset, but for the most part it hasn't yet and it probably won't.
Remember Emu's face, people; one day it's going to be on the news alongside a headline about blowing some landmark to smithereens, and then we can all sigh and say, "She was such a normal person".....
....We'd be lying though.

Its possible to have a moral code which you develop yourself. Infact, I belive that doing whats right because it's the right thing to do is better then doing whats right because your afraid of going to hell.

Can you define "right" in the context you are using it? It's a pretty vague term.

I've always thought of religion of requiring worship of a deity.
