I have always maintained the civilization would be a whole
lot better off without religion… it has created far more wars,
conflicts, riots and deaths, then anything else ever created or found…
and not just between rival religions, but the wars between the same faith…
in fact, given all the wars between rival and competing religions, I would
say that the wars of religions has caused the death of millions and for what?
to say, my god is better then your god…in the name of religion, man
has killed, tortured, maimed, burned down whole cities, killed men, women
and children in the name of _________ pick the name of whatever deity you
are fighting for today…in the name of my god is better then your god, men have
said, I am better then you, creating an “us vs them” attitude that separates
one from another…religion doesn’t create unity, it creates disunity and hate
and discord in the name of god…nothing good comes from religion… because
at its heart is the separation that divides us and makes us less then what we would be
without religion…abandon religion and we shall be much closer to peace and
human happiness then ever before…don’t replace religion with something else,
remove religion in all its forms and we shall see a new golden age of peace…
