Historically, more people have died of religion than cancer.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Religion has caused more misery to all of mankind in every stage of human history than any other single idea.
I think religion has caused so much catastrophe in the world.
There's a rising cancer trend and, as I said, one of the major contributors is the overall ageing of the population - we aren't dying of other things, so we're dying of cancer.
In reality, many people let go of religion later in life.
We may have to learn to live with cancer rather than die of it. It means a big change in our mindset and how we do research. We haven't quite reached there yet.
I think the way we talk about cancer has really evolved. I remember the way my grandmother used to talk about it, like a death sentence, no-one would even mention the word.
Religions tend to disappear with man's good fortune.
To die for a religion is easier than to live it absolutely.
There are more people dying of malaria than any specific cancer.
Religion has for too long been placed on the back burner of history, when it may be one of the driving forces in history.
