Ban Organized Religion: Elton John
Organized religion fuels anti-gay discrimination and should be eliminated, pop star Elton John said in an interview published Saturday. "I think religion has always tried to turn hatred toward gay people," the musician, who is openly gay, said in the Observer newspaper's Music Monthly magazine. "Religion promotes the hatred and spite against gays ... "From my point of view, I would ban religion completely. Organized religion doesn't seem to work. It turns people into really hateful lemmings and it's not really compassionate."
