I know what We meant.No doubt having those things would change a culture - it certainly changed American culture. But I'm not sure what that would have to do with religion. I mean a McDonalds is not a cathedral and a Wal-Mart is not a mosque. It's not like those places are handing out religious tracts or passing around collection plates. And you sure don't have to go into them.
Statistically, more people have died in the name of God than anything else. The only problem with this is that people use the name of God so that it fits their agenda. All the Crusades were ultimately just wars to gain more land and fortune. The Holy Roman Empire used the name of God to intimidate and gain riches from the masses. Its man that is corruptible, not God. The Bible doesn't say go out and kill everyone who is not like you.
