This is true...I AM a freakin genius. Lol. Depends which class it is. I don't think it's a good idea though. I got kicked out of my philophies of religion class for calling my teacher a "fucking liar". He spoke about christianity in absolutes and in all other religions a rhetorical or hypothetical. I asked him about it one day in class and he stated that he did no such thing and that he was offended that I'd even suggest that. So I called him a fucking liar and left. A week later about 1/4 of the clas sleft after me. Lol.

As for the governments causing problems, I understand where you're going, but you have to look at the big picture. Assume any given religion never existed. What would there be to fight over? You'll never get people to completely get along, but it becomes problematic when two groups of people hate each other on solely idealogical grounds. You can blame men with pencils and maps to some extent, but there wouldn't be a problem without religion goating them into wars that last thousands of years. If you think about it further, borders are just lines on a map. They're not real in a physical sense. When I cross the border into some other state, there's no dark line drawn on the earth or some big wall to pass through. These people could just as easily get up and leave if they didn't like it instead of dying for ideas. But they think of it as their homeland. And why? Because their ancient religious documents say so and they're often so wrapped up in religion that any rational options are expelled (you know...the really crazy ideas like coexisting with these other people) leaving only the irrational. You can blame governments and committees and maps for creating a problem...but it's a problem that wouldn't exist were it not for religion.
