Civilized modern religions.

Philosophers use the term "modern" to refer to any philosophy or ideology that appeared after Kant (1724 - 1804). We have had a good two centuries of "modern." The centuries were quite bloody.

Modern philosophers came up with a tonne of competing ideologies. These ideologies would battle each other on the world stage. The modern world had two World Wars, numerous genocides and other attrocities.

The term "civilized" is quite old. The Romans considered themselves the peak of "civilized." They liked to throw people from barbaric cultures into colosseums for sport.

We haven't created a perfect world ... yet.
