Why are there so many violations of human rights when we live in a world that is so called modern? The answer could be simple. Before the migration of humans into other parts, groups evolved into civilization. These civilizations contained a system of belief that the head of a group would enforce upon its people. More advanced cultures were formed; these contained the arts, a social system and religious belief. Civilization flourished. Religious belief advanced artworks. This created interest among the peoples' that were soon to become migratory. Many of those religions however, practised certain rituals that have no room in the modern world. There is no doubt that the migration of humans into other parts created better social awareness. Novel experiences such as environment and food created less religious diversity. For instance, migratory individuals would have relaxed ideas about sacrifice of animals that others would class as sacred. Ideas about religion have evolved a great deal. However, in a modern world, with modern laws, 'thou shalt not commit homosexuality', as an example, is very much outdated. Freedom for lesbians and gays is widely accepted. No doubt, many people realize aspects of the bible that forbid homosexuality are not enough to prevent it. The truth is, society has evolved in a way that to drag religious belief with it creates, not merely for homosexuals, incidents in the work place and such that would be deemed as a breach of human rights. Acuity of the senses may have evolved to the extent that we may perceive the difference between not being able to explain phenomena and idealised religion. In such a case it would be far from a crime to scrap religion in the modern world -- since despite the aim of greater good, scientific research could pin-point it as an excuse to get ahead of natural law by the repression of individuals in society. If we are to end the monopoly of freedom to express ourselves, then the answer seems simple. Unless it can be proved that religion is the result of genuine phenomena on account of the individual, then the promotion of equality is a wolf in sheep's clothing. That's not to say people should not be educated in soul, but that idealized religion should be easy to detect, if we are to minimize the breach of human rights.
