Well one thing I have noticed and you may have also observed is that as the belief in a faith has fall the violence in the world has exponential increased. Would like for you to explain that. Have a good day. Cheers NC
As the population of Earth has exponentially exploded, so has the rate of violent acts.
But as to the rate of violence per 1000 population? I think it is lower than at any time in history. It is certainly a lot lower today than it was in 1917-1918, or in 1938 through about,,,,,,oh say 1975. There might have been a bit of violence even back in feudal Europe and Asia. Remember that Ghengis Kahn guy, and Alexander, oh and Xerxes.
