This made me think of all the violent things that religion has invented, such as the rack, the pillory, the strappado, waterboarding, the machine gun, grenades, mortors, bazookas, napalm, cluster bombs, torpedoes, carpet bombing, nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles, drones ...
Oh, shoot. Hang on ... Whoops. Sorry. These things were all the products of science.
Nevermind.

I actually agree with that.
Some of them.
Let's not forget, of course, about the 20th century and its long line of anti-religious zealots and the violence they perpetrated (more people died at the hand of the anti-religious in the 20th century than an other time in world history).
