No religion should grow thru gruesomeness, forced conversion, lacking in values and falsehood.
No belief system, religion, or culture should ever expand through cruelty, the destruction of other civilizations, land grabbing, forced or coerced conversion, hatred, and bigotry. It should not rely on manufactured histories, the persecution or eradication of indigenous peoples, discrimination, telling lies about others when people go against all these, unnecessary "violence", abuse, taking advantage of vulnerable people, book with absurds, or the appropriation and modification of other cultures. No true or benevolent God would ever say, "I will only accept you if you hate others and has humanity categorized," or promised a special place in exchange for conversion even of one has done horrific acts like rape.
The core principle should be "live and let live." Ultimately, a religion or culture should cultivate dignity, values, respect, a better humanity, fraternity, spirituality, righteousness, conscience, and consciousness. At end of the day if you have failed it, you have not succeeded as a good human. I could not read most of the true history not only in India but many other nations and civilizations went through. There are bunch still wants it to continue. Going all out from big investment, spreading more misinformation, claiming etc. Look at the world and you would clearly see direst started from where, when and by whom. I am not mentioning but the two and f course few more factors. No hate here but the truth. Before these existence everything was different. Also alot of immoral culture from pass and till now existing. But denying will not change anything. That is why it is important to be well equipped and the source we get ot from should be legit with no agenda.
The Brutal Goa Inquisition led by the Catholic Church. Never forget
