Nothing wrong with bumping up the odd old thread, but flooding the forums with them is a different matter.

It's not religious faith for the most part that causes wars be they muslim,christian,jew it's the evil in man's heart through greed ( you have something I want and I will kill you to get it if I have to ) or a belief that I one nation or people are superior to another.A world without religion would be even darker than it is now for Christians,muslims,jews,Hindu,Sikh,Buddhist etc do wonderful things in the world acts of kindness in times of disaster and helping to bring peace in all parts of the world,building schools and orphanages,providing medical care,food,homes etc etc !Im not saying that people of no faith in a God or gods don't also do may acts of kindness because they do but people of faith are motivated to bring love to a dying world and spread the love of God because they are instructed to in the bible and Koran its part of faith.

ziggy67: If there was no religion, would the world be at peace. ???



Question: What is the common thread throughout the many religions available to us???

Answer: They contain the "I'm right" & "You're wrong" mentality.


Personally, I would rather strive for HAPPY and not give a toss bout who is right or who is wrong which always equals "CONFLICT"

idea Yes... I will start a new religion and call it...














Drum roll please!!





















"Church of Happy"


















and teach common sense!! laugh

RonNichols: no religion there would be no morals.
Ten commandments come to mind.


I have no religion and still morals...


When you see about catholic priests raping kids or islamics marrying little girls ... and killing eachother to prove wich god is the coolest... then where are the morals?

DEFO world would be a great place with no brainwashing.
World would be a better place with religion out, permanently.

In an ideal world there wouldn't be any need for religion. Unfortunately not everyone has their own moral compass ... or has not been calibrated .. lol.
Religion, through fear of divine consequences, at least keeps the vast majority on the straight and narrow. Shame we have all the other crap associated with organized religion ... politics, power, distortion of teachings and hierarchy.
Personally I don't need or want religion, but I am happy for people to have the choice as long as it doesn't impact on me.

I doubt it.I think we'd still have those people who are all about greed,power and probably still wars.

Honestly I don't know.
Seems people will fight for many reasons. Religion has just a convenient excuse for wars.

No your problems would still exist you'd just have to work it for yourself instead of relying on some supernatural force to do it. Also you'll be able to see people for what they are rather than them being able to hide behind a cloak of pious garbage thumbs up

There is no question that religion has been a huge contributor to violence since recorded time, but truthfully, it's not been the only one. The acquisition of land and wealth as well as ideas and politics have contributed as well. Without religion I think there would be less violence, but it does not account for all.
