That's not about 'benefits', it's just inevitable. I'm pretty sure a world 'without' religion was depicted in some episode of South Park? It's in episode where Cartman is dying to buy a Wii and eventually goes to the future, I believe =)

Must watch that.
It's inevitable, but if a society grew out of it, I don't think there'll be any reason to invent it back.

I agree,I think relgion divides and hurt's people,more than it helps them. Think of all the wars between different religions. Everybody thinks there religions are the right one.

Think of this buddy
- Joseph Stalin, Atheist: 20 million plus dead
- Mao-Tse-Tung, Atheist: 40 million plus dead
- Adolf Hitler, Atheist: 10 million plus dead
- Pol Pot, Atheist: 2 million dead
- Kim-Il-Sung, Atheist: 5 million dead
- Fidel Castro, Atheist: 1 million dead

Those attrocities had nothing to do with those peoples' atheism, but rather with the political regime's they were promoting.
|
Communisam promotes atheisam andd sees the religion and religious people as their enemies. Its like saying ''KKK didnt lynch people black people for being black, thel lynched them for not being white''
|
It only promotes it in the since,that they don't want any group getting in the way of there dictarship/communisim. We can argue sematics all day long,but that's like arguing in a big circle and not getting anywhere. lol
|
Ok so stop with all ''religious wars'' bullshit, atheists killed millions of people too and that argument can be useed on religious wars as well.
|
Yes but atheism isn't a belief like religion. It's more a non belief. And like it's been pointed out those killed by Stalin etc wern't killed because of a religious belief and it had nothing to due with them being an atheist. If you want to play that game than I could list every single dictator, King, Queen, President etc throughout history who professed to a religious belief and put the number of deaths they were responsible for next to their name. It would be a VERY long list. Furthermore don't forget the relationship between the Catholic Church and Hitler and Mussolini. Hitlers religious belief is still up for debate.
