Would the world be better off if religion was out of the equation? Offcourse.

Religions disputes have been the cause of many wars and campaigns. The crusades, Spanish inquisition.......Israel vs every country that borders them.

Hell in the middle east you will be killed if you "troll" Islam in public. Now thats a fanboy!

And replaced with what?  You would suggest that society be totally tempered and generate its values out of a consumerist driven economy where corporations pander to every base desire, and the only thing that informs the process is the base wants of individuals?  In short, throw out religion and replace it with the Home Shopping Network?

Historically, you have seen for centuries banking interests and public debt funding wars.  To ignore these elements is to be short-sighted and not be able to see an effective solution to problems.

Its easy to poke holes but harder to come up with a acceptable alternative. Id take home shopping network over religious inspired genocides any day. 

Well said :)

Although, I still believe that religion is important as a way of teaching moral values to children. It's one of the main pillars of a civilised society imo


No, it's called common sense and parenting, it's as easy as teaching your children to not break the law and tell them to always use a fucking condom so you don't have to raise your grand kids in their place, which too many parents don't do these days which in turn come the spoiled pussies which are so many of the children these days.

Those parents that don't teach their children to not break laws and wear condoms are likely not religious though - the spoiled kids come from the "poor" families living off the government in their council houses

you either live in a very different world than me or you haven't been alive long enough to see how fucked up people can be even if they are religious or have a good amount of wealth.
