The world is a better place without religion. Discuss

LEDC's have faster growing populations whereas MEDC's have falling populations and so import religious people from foreign countries. Once Christianity bottoms out religion will rise sharply in the West.

is that to say that people are only religious because they're "born" religious? are you legitimising or delegitimising religion/ because in reality you're doing the latter

I can only say, things happen and some if not all, you cannot change that. Religion is not a mistake, a wrong doing. it is all right. The world is always a better place to be and live in, when there is a new turn, a new discovery, it gets people excited, so why can't religion. It's beautiful to watch and witness what life is like outside of your own and religion offers this. Millions of places in the world are famous because of religion.

And you perceive that as valuable? How does that have any more worth than say, every inch of the world's surface being covered by people held in torture chambers where they never get to see the light of day? Or have any more value than every human dropping dead for no apparent cause?

Does it really tell us that? Why solve these problems?


It is indeed a social construct, what else would it be? And just like everything else, it has no worth to it at all. There's no point in making the world a better place. And there's no point in making it a nastier place.

All you're doing by killing them is speeding up the process of death, which is meaningless

Religion is growing and not dying.

Is it?
I think religion is slowly dying out because science is "explaining" all these ludicrous claims made by religion over the many thousands of years.
I don't know the true reality of what's going on though.

I'm neutral on religion. I'm not a Christian/Muslim who proudly boasts that more religion is growing fast, nor am I a euphoric Atheist who brags that the world is becoming less religious. The fact is that in the medium term the global proportion of religious people will rise.

is this the thread topic?

I know lots of Muslims who are among the best science students, I fail to see the relationship between education and religiosity as arrogant White Atheists (crypto-Christian universalists) are so eager to bang on about.

religion is a bad thing overallit is illogical and endorses delusive stupidity in that it often firmly rejects sciencebut not only that, but it encourages things like homophobia and misogyny, or child abuse (circumcision)

I'm not saying that muslims or any other religious person of any faith can't be a brilliant science student. There's always amix of every possibility.

The opening premise upon which this thread is based is that religion is becoming less relevant, this is categorically and demonstrably false.

but is that a demonstration that the world is a better place with religion? religion is becoming less relevant to morality surely when moral people today don't necessitate their morality upon a religion

''The belief in a "God" is slowly diminishing due to the fact that "God" was originally used to fill the gaps in knowledge that we didn't know because science hadn't discovered it yet.''

I was addressing.

XD Oh you atheist cyber gangsters.

so you're implying that religion will eventually trump science...?

Religion isn't the problem, it's individuals.

Religion doesn't cause any significant change in our modern world.

People however use religion as an excuse to cover up their acts of stupidity.

I object to the term science being used in this context, what you call ''science'' is crypto-Christian universalism.

Western culture is simply a religion which attempts to proselytise. The very concept of integration is a form of proselytism.

In the short term official statistics will report a reduction in religiosity as Christians become Atheists, in the medium term people of stronger faith will begin to outnumber Atheists due to immigration from religious nations and the more family orientated mentality of those of faith.

When most of our laws are written they were based mostly on religion and majority are still in effect. What we consider to be good/bad is governed by religion even if you aren't religious.
