would you wish all religions to disappear?

Im an athiest,

However i believe it should stay

The fear of damnation helps keep order, Fear can be a powerful motivator to be a good person.

Religion gives people a scapegoat to judging people they don't know and the only way they can be right again is to going to these people for forgiveness who just rejected them. It gives people the ok to not want to know the answers to things, it lets them fill in the blanks with any real question there is in life and fill it with 'god did it'. Faith is believing something with no proof and it shouldn't be virtued. People should use there education to critically think and observe there religion just like they do everything else it there life. If every religion is claiming there's is right, what's makes there personal one so right. The fact is Religion has made up rules that do hurt people. Like being gay is genetic and once we found that not too long scientist thought things would change but the church didn't acecpt something like 'proof'. The fact that we are still having to even talk about gay rights is a joke.

All aspects of religion? As you said that would include all the positive actions that have been made possible by religion. Such as the motivation for Mother Teresa. It would also include the wars, segregation, discrimination, and murders caused by it. Such as the Holocaust and the KKK.

While I believe that religion in itself isn't corrupted or, in a sense, evil (Most definitely not, it is the people of these religions that make it so), the good that would come out of ridding of all religions would definitely overcome the damage done from such an act.

Even if all the acts committed prior to the granting of this so-called wish were still left intact, it would stop any further similar crimes and horrible deeds from occuring.

Hey chill. Religion teaches us good things. People tend to make out bad meanings and start being bad.

It's your choice on what you wanna be: good or bad. You can even try being a good person without religion. But are you gonna last long enough without any fear stopping you from doing bad? Religion is just a medium that helps guide a person towards "good".

I'm no atheist. So I'd say religion is not that bad. Accept it if you wish. No one forces you. You're a free soul.

"like church people help people and stuff like that"

You mean they wouldn't help others if they didn't believe? So what motivates them?

"people actually fear they're action"

Same question as above.

"religion inspire also people change no science book can do that"

And more BS.

"it even gave some people a reasons to live. "

And more BS.

YES.

I'm a Christian and I believe a world without religion would be the best.

I know I sound weird but I don't care. Just think about how much less war and discrimination there'd be!

Yes. Religion is a force for harm in the world. We do not need it. Religious people who do good do so because they are good people, despite, not because, of their religion.

You are quite wrong to say that 'no science book can do that'. You obviously haven't read the right books! Try reading the last section of 'Origin of Species'!

Religion bad, Science good

Yes.

No. Everyone should be free to believe what they want. And I'm quite content with my beliefs.
