With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

As a non-white person, I find it very funny to see a Greek person saying that Danes are racist in comparison.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

It means that I have experienced racism from both Greeks and Danes (and other Europeans). I have also experienced tolerance and acceptance from both Greeks and Danes (and other Europeans).“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles.

I'm pretty sure that Greece could do just as well as us if they wanted - all it demand is some work, lack of corruption etc.With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.
