Leibniz did talk about God and wrote, "Theodicy." But I suspect no Christian will accept the monad, which Leibniz considered his central idea.

Nothing to do with what I wrote.
I don't really care.
I am going by dictionary definitions."I am interested in mass murder." Now what does that mean?
Most philosophers don't really care about religion. Otherwise, they would be theologians.
"Care" (verb): to feel interest or concern (Merriam Webster)
For two thousand years, western philosophers have been generally interested in religion and religious thinking, whether positive or negative.

Since Cypress is going to make personal attacks on me, as usual, let me say this.
Very few philosophers in any era were religious and cared about religion. Cypress lies about this because he is a religious fundamentalist.

And historians have been interested in genocide. So what.

Almost always negative. Often contemptuous.

Goethe was contemptuous of religion: "If a man has neither art nor science, let him have religion."

I have made no personal attacks on you. You will be hard pressed to identify anything in this thread a reasonable person would consider a personal attack on you.

uh huh. And most people think I am a genius.....

Okay, so now you agree with me that western philosophical history has widely been interested in, cared about, concerned with (take your pick) religion and religious thinking. Obviously because it is a substantial part of the human experience.
That is what I said hours ago.
Carry on.

You're really dumb.
You are a perfect example that religion makes people stupid.

You can only expect me to respond to words you actually write.
You should have said most prominent modern era philosophers are skeptical, or even hostile to religion.
I would not have disagreed with that.
If you want to revise what you wrote, let me know.
You wrote that the history of philosophy doesn't care about, not interested in religion.
That is categorically incorrect.
The Russell-Sarte Tribunal
Having a public forum to excoriate the morality of the U.S. war in Vietnam is fine. USA should be held to a higher standard. But these kangaroo courts would have more credibility if they took the crimes against humanity of the Soviet and Maoist regimes more seriously.
