(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Well walking a few days ago me and my friend stumbled upon an argument. What would the world be like without religion? He said there would be more crime and etc. Although people don't commit crime because their religion says not to. They do it because of laws. To put it bluntly if you commit a crime you go to jail. I said that there would be less controversy and fighting over which religion is right and blah blah blah, and that we would come together as people and have more technological advances. I look at it like this. No religion=Star Wars on Earth. He looks as it as. No religion=More Crime on Earth.

What do you guys think? Discuss.

Read My Mind
The Crusades, Thirty Years War, Israeli Palestinian Conflict, and the Northern Irish Conflict are a few examples of religiously inspired "wars". Without religion there would be no split between Protestants and Catholics in Ireland and Jews wouldn't be fighting for a homeland promised to them by Abraham if they knew that Abraham was most likely a fictional character devised by the bronze age sheep herders who wrote the bible.

Don't argue with people who have been sucked into religion guys, their only way of arguing is we have faith. Faith=gullible

Also they will groan your posts but not comment why and when they don't know the answer they will go back to faith

I don't think unified language would bring peace, infact they're quite necessary for diverse culture.
I agree with you that there would still be wars, because obviously not 100% of wars are started because of religion, but rather money, power, greed, mental imbalances, etc.
