Ok... i want you all to be honest with this question, any comments are more than welcome. DO YOU BELIEVE THE WORLD WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE WITHOUT RELIGION? Please take into consideration all the ways and things that are happening around the world, the believes of these people... like in some minority groups of africa and other countries "islam" mutilate/ or better said circumzise their women, because they believe is a sin, or that it could prevent women from getting married and or finding a husband.

I don't have a problem with religion at all and do not think it causes a lot of problems in the world at all. I think CHURCHES are the ones causing the problems by telling people what to believe, how to believe it and how to treat those not of the same faith.

Well, I agree with you, but to me "religion" and "church" are the same thing. I guess I should say "organized religion". PERSONAL religion, is fine, one person's personal beliefs, but it's the organized what the church tells you part that causes problems.

I just think religion can be like politics you know...Theres a difference between "church and faith". But i guess it all depends on how a person practice its religion/faith/belief.

Without religion yes the world would be a much better person that also being said a world without spirituality would be a world incomplete. Religion is man's selfish need to try and use something good for their own means but spirituality is something inside wanting to do right live according to some uplifting beliefs the basic of beliefs. To me this comes from within not from some bible or going to some building during the week it is through living what you believe. So by all means get rid of all religion for a person can be spiritual without religion but a person with religion is not always spiritual

I tend to believe that religion is the root of all evil, but I don't know if I'd go so far as to say the world would be a better place without it. The idea of it not existing is too impossible to even imagine.

Religion only cause conflict. People fight for their beliefs. I am not an atheist but i certainly think that a world without religion would be so much better. Still, I dont believe that would be possible. Even if there was no God and no religion, man would still have created them.

I agree! I just think that religion is just like politics you know. you follow rules etc... Some are just made out of ignorance (not to offend anyone out there who is a believer). But I just believe that some people out there should not confuse religion over faith you know. Like Im Agnostic, right? So I do have faith. But I dont believe in religion or church. To me its just like politics.
