Main Cause of Murder 

Throughout the History of mankind the Main Cause of Murder has probably been the fact that someone or group did not have the same religious beliefs as held by those who committed the murders.

Probably the worst offenders of killing people for God are the Christians, or perhaps the Muslims, which is insane because both Religions believe in the the same Supreme Being but simply use different names for the Creator.  These murders are justified by the various religions by their claiming that the murders are done to help God.  What a bunch of crap.  God does not need any help from anyone if God is as all-powerful as we consider God to be.  Perhaps God has a real strange sense of humor and enjoys seeing mankind kill each other over the name people use for the Supreme Being.  I have no clue and neither do you, and even though each of us may have an opinion neither of us has any way to prove our ideas regarding religion.

Probably more people have been murdered over their Religious Beliefs than for any other reason, therefore Religion has probably done a lot more damage than good.  It has certainly killed more people than any other cause.  On the plus side, Religion has proven to be a fantastic method for population control.

Other causes of Murder include jealousy and financial gain.

Since Freemasonry is not a Religion and does not favor any one Name for God over another it has no need to murder people over their religious beliefs.  Perhaps the various religions should follow the teachings of Freemasonry which would make the Earth a safer place for mankind.  Perhaps Freemasonry should be considered a Religion that promotes Peace.
