You are all watching too much Star Trek if you think we will just evolve into some peace loving race of people called earthians and take to the star's when religion is banned. They would have found new reasons to murder each other. |
Like Rol said, I don't think anyone (at least anyone you can take seriously) is implying that there wouldn't be wars without religions. It's just that religion gives a relatively easy reason to start wars, and having less reasons to choose from for going to war would obviously make going to war more difficult. As a concrete example, do you think we'd have so much terrorism without religions? I don't think we would, and I don't think we'd have an equal (or greater) amount of more traditional warfare either to replace terrorism.
