Antisemitism without religion is called racism. And because a corrupt caste of people use religion as a pretext to control and funnel wealth. Doesn't mean the underlying religion itself calls for that.

As for having a population supporting conquest independent from religion look at the east India company, both world wars, and many others.

I'm not saying religious organizations are a benefit or arguing for or against that.

But how is the world a better place because the banned prayer rooms in universities?

Whether some of those people follow a good religious leader or not. Their religion generally calls for overall good.

    What a religion calls for is almost never what it enables.

    I don't think public funds should support any religion, and I don't think universities should support unsubstantiated claims.

    I agree with you on the use of public funds. But a ban goes beyond that.

    And it's not that the religion enables evil deeds. Evil deeds exist independent of religion. Because some people use it as a thin veil over their actions doesn't mean it's the root cause

    I firmly disagree with this premise, I think religion's particular mix of social othering and righteous justification are the root of a great deal of evil in the world.
