Is religion still relevant in modern society?

Totally true on both accounts...but I say it's worth a test. See if taking religion and 'God' out of the equation DOES alter behaviour in the ways I theorize.  again, I'm not as anti-religion as I seem, I just find it a remarkably irrational thing to believe in, and I see it used as a tool to force ideals and opinions entirely too often, sometimes violently.  

Worth a test, but how do you think this can be executed? You basically have to tell hundreds of millions that what they believe in is no more in order to see how the few hundredthousands black sheep will react and adjust to the new circumstances. You would just be taking a lot away from a huge amount of people while the people you actually want to target aren't really affected at all.

Kinda like using DRM in video games that only hurts the actual consumers, but not the pirates who quickly find a way around it.

Damn, Rol, not only have you been a calm voice of reason desperately needed in this thread, but you've somehow managed to justify its existence on a video game forum at the same time.
