| Jicale said: There is a downside. Death. Currently we have no clue what happens when we die, so some people feel comfort in believing there is some sort of afterlife. A family loses their child, so the parents and loved ones feel comfort in believing that the child has gone to heaven. So without religion that belief is no longer there so it's, yeah sorry your kid died and all but now it's non existent. |
Technically you don't turn into "nothing" when you die because that would defy the laws of physics. - I.E. At the atomic level, everything is energy, the laws of thermodynamics states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed only transferred or transformed.
Religion, typically religous "extremists" be it Christian, Islamic, whatever... Hold extremely high levels of "faith" in their religion that they are willing to throw all human achievements in science and technology away and believe in things like a young-earth theory, some even go as far as to proclaim that space travel should be abolished.
Religion does nothing except hold back the potential of the human race in it's most extreme cases, in the most ideal case it's a form of confort.
