What would the world be like without Religion?

the world would be exactly the same cause the people in charge would've come up with something equally capable of coraling the masses

" It would be chaos. Religion is what made people moral. You may not believe in all or any specific religion, but region is what civilized mankind. "

Despite what people want to believe, God doesn't cause evil; what evil you see in the world was/is not his doing, it's man's, but who really wants to hold the buck for that?
 
 

I don't think a world without religion is necessarily a world without GOD. FAITH is the belief in a higher power. RELIGION is the separation of the beliefs in said higher power. A world where everybody had the same beliefs in the same GOD, would definitely be an improvement over the current world we live in now. However a world without that belief in a higher power would definitely be worse off than it currently is. If we could get rid of all those who act in HIS name falsely, then we could improve overall life exponentially. But if we remove HIM completely, then the opposite effect could happen.

It'd be practically the same without religion.  People would just have to find another excuse for the heinous things they do to each other.

The world would still be fcked up....except it would be worse.  "

" @Gylan Thomas: Casused?  Anyway, why do you think we're responsible for God's creation? "

People would hopefully start thinking for themselves which would be beautiful.

" @Gylan Thomas: Okay, now what causes you to think God is fictional? "

" @Gylan Thomas: proof "

Are you really asking him to prove that god doesn't exist?  That's pretty ridiculous if you are.  Why don't you prove Big Foot and Nessie don't exist while he's doing that. "

" @NickA: Care to elaborate? "

" @Gylan Thomas: The wars, terrorism, hate and prejudice your talking about, that wouldn't be just a nod towards the radical Islamists, would it? because if that's how people are going to judge everyone else's religious beliefs, then people really need to get out there and see for themselves. "

Religion brings evil to the world and slows down progress. just look at the dark ages and how religious fanatics dealt with science and progress back in the day
 
Fuck..shit...

" @Gylan Thomas: The murder of abortion-doctors is wrong; two wrongs can't make a right, but you can't blame an entire faith on the actions of some people. The Spanish Inquisition was the Catholic church, and they were so far away from God that the only relationship they had with him was the fact that they slapped "God's will" on the things they did. You'll find hatred against a certain type of people outside of religion too, and for those Christians who hate homosexuals, they need a fresh reminder about who they follow. "

" @Green Skin: Wars, terrorism, hate, and prejudice aren't good examples of radical Islamists? "

No religion would mean no "seven deadly sins".
So it's possible that the world would be less restricted, and have more violence/rape/theft, ect. 

" Alot people get their morals and values from religion If religion didnt exist their will be hell "

Look at the world today. We're getting to that point lol.

Hell exists? Surely that's aphylosophical issue?
