And what kind of world would it be?

Would it turn out to be a better or worst world than the one we have?

I think it would be great honestly, religion has caused many problems throughout the years =P



I imagine it'd be exactly the same. People would wage wars in the names of other things in that case. It is built into our DNA.



People would think. So it would be great.



It's hard to say, really. I mean, the positives are obvious, like no more people blowing themselves and others up thinking they're going to a better place.

The negatives, though, are more subtle. Look at all the people who seem to need something to believe in before they can clean their life up, or something to "save" them. Would these people survive on their own? I imagine some of them would become followers of someone. Maybe Tony Robbins would have thousands more flocking to his seminars to walk on hot coals. I don't think the zealots and fanatics would suddenly become normal and well adjusted.

Sounds like a good science fiction novel. Someone proves that no god exists and the world goes crazy.

This. Those who believe world issues and wars would not exist are kidding themselves. Humans would displace them upon different things



I think religion is not a problem, fanaticism is the problem. Just like political fanaticism or any kind of fanaticism, religious fanaticism is bad for society, cause they have leaders who can manipulate their thoughts. I would say that i'm a spiritual person but that's me and my mind, i don't try to preach my beliefs cause everybody is an individual being that need to find their beliefs by themselves.



It would be paradise ;P

At least we wouldn't have fanatics trying to turn Australia into an islamic state.
