Where would the world be right now if religion never existed?

Even if most people here seem to be non-religious, they still have a very colorful way of seeing things. No religion would definitely not mean less war.

Wake up and smell the coffee. Human race would find another excuses to kill themselves like they always did.It's a miracle our species still exist considering how uncooperative, physically unprivileged and violent we are compared to almost anything else in this world.

One of the best posts here. This is of course assuming that the human race has a tendency to be evil. I think that because throughout history most war were fought for power which also involved religion as its backbone causes people to think the world would be peaceful without religion. People would still fight over power if religion did not exist. Also living life for power in money could be just like a religion. In the end, I agree that the human species is selfish and has to be for its survival as individuals or groups so there would always be war.

Thanks for you support sir.

It's like they say, man is man's wolf. One could even say that some religions, much like the state, considering both as a form of social contract, could actually have helped mankind to avoid total anarchy over the course of ages.
