    I have travelled throughout much of Australia and this is the first I’ve heard of this quaint tradition. I’ve seen this kind of thing in American movies of the Western genre.

    Suffering and oppression around the world are not caused by religion. The kind of suffering and oppresion you seem to be talking of are caused by people. The two great religions you mention both have peace and goodwill as their central tenets, as do the other great religions of the world. Too often, people with a political bent hijack religion as a backing for their own agenda. Sometimes it is the religious rather than the religion that causes conflict. It was this oversight that led John Lennon to ask us to imagine a world without religion in order to imagine a world at peace. The challenge is to respect one another’s religious traditions.
