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.

Yes you would think that a social contract would be meant to protect from chaos. Obviously the social contract of religion that we have in "free" countries has bit us in the ass. As you say, society must blame itself by allowing themselves to be bitten, either way I Humanity does not seem to be able to escape beings its own wolf.The idea that humans are full of everything nice when religion is excluded is like saying we would be robots without it, in other words no free will because everything is good.
