What the title says, what would the world be like right now if there was never any religion?

You mean the belief or the organized religious experience like churches and temples?

A lot less wars and a lot less fighting.

we would all be on a sandy nude beach smoking pot and drinking strawberry daqueries with umbrellas in them

we'd probably be much closer to finding cures to a bunch of diseases since no one would be bitchin about using stem cells from fetuses....

religion is just a tool to control the masses, if it wasn't religion it'd be some other tool with the same effect, so maybe a few less wars started by idiots that actually believed it but thats about it 

This!

Most harmful thing being done right now imo

The possibilities are endless, if only scientists would be allowed to do the research!

Some very nasty things have been made in the name of religions, but I think they are mostly good for the peace and development of human rights. I really believe religions make people want to be better, so when you use big numbers, they make the world a better place. Even if you're an atheist, you are influenced by the predominant religion of your country, and most of them make you try, with their limitations, to be a better person.


I can't imagine a world without religion, because it's in our human core to try to explain things we can't understand with some type of higher being, some type of God. If there wouldn't be any religious sentiment, I think the world would be nastier, harder for everyone, because feeling bad when you do something against your believes help our society to be more peaceful, more respectful with the other ones.

Probably the same, Humans would have just found something else Annoying and Destructive to do.

or if some religions are correct we may not even exist
