Do you think the world would be a better place without religion?

Posted Wed 10 Dec

I have thought about the question of whether god exists for a number of years. Having read a fair amount on it and thought quite deeply about it I have concluded that the only logical defensible position is to be an atheist.

However I wanted to ask whether you think that the world is ready for the absence of god. For those in poverty, I feel that it can provide them with very real comfort...

" Anna and Babylon on the money. I think there is more respect from religious people these days that it is a personal decision and they can't go enforcing their beliefs on other or maybe it is just that I have become to scary to be approached. " on Sat 31 Jul

" While the world WOULD be a better place without magical sky wizards, the problem is that the idiots currently "praying" to a figment of their own imagination would make something else up to "believe" in. Religion is a symptom of mass human stupidity, taking it away won't change the disease. " on Wed 18 Mar
