How do you imagine life and people would be today if religion had never been invented and why?

There have been many wars due to religion, groups of people have been discriminated against, men were sexist due to the words in the book. If there had never been religion all this would never have happened.

I want to know how you imagine life would be today without religion not tell me it would not happen

    I believe that people would value other people more than they do. Today you have lots of people taking care of places, things in the name of God while people are homeless and without help or hope.

    I think without religion humans would be more human and not so superstitious and blind to their fellow man.

    something like that. no longer in simple terms elementary non-existance, even with the undeniable fact that, extra like non-existance for something else of eternity. Non-existance for 1000's of years (or perhaps with the undeniable fact that lengthy the Earth lasts or till we come across yet another planet) is what's difficult to imagine. Makes me type of lower than pressure, in my opinion. So, it is why i decide on to believe in reincarnation. Solves each thing.

    As someone else recently said, I imagine it would be like a perpetual war between the Nazis and the Communists in Russia.

    I don't there have been wars due to religion. There are wars because people craved power and were greedy for what others had, and if they could mouth religious words to cover their wickedness, they thought so much the better. Non-religious warmongers and evil people just pull different levers and manipulate people in different ways, but without it bothering their conscience.

    Less wars, less oppression and segregation and more freedom for people.

    But sad to admit that to a certain extent some Middle Eastern counties do need Religion because they would be lawless without it and they need time for Democracy to take hold, But on the Democratic world it really isn't needed that much and can just slow down progress.

    We would be extinct. Religion is what enables far more achievement than destruction. It's why most of the world is religious.

    Religious discrimination and wars have only been documented to account for nothing over the double-digit millions while states of nonreligiousness have accounted for several double-digit million death tolls.

    We'd be farther ahead in regards to technology and progress as a species. But we would've missed out on a ton of cultural aspects.

    It has been proven that atheists are more open minded thinkers than religious people (you can google it if you want to, don't be lazy and ask for a link.) So I'm guessing that people would have higher iq,

    just guessing.
