Believers: Which would you choose to live in?

1. A world in which everyone is a secular humanist/unbeliever.

2. A world in which everyone is a strong believer in faith and governance is done strictly according to religious law as interpreted by clergy.

Update:

No saying "neither." I really want to know if you would personally prefer a world without religion, or a world without secularism. Obviously, these are theoretical extremes.

    Believers would choose option #2 I think

    I'd go for 1, a world with secular humanist behavior.

    Unfortunately No. 2 will never work because you'll never have two sects of any religion out of the hundreds agree on the interpretation of religious "law."

    Neither. There are two Thousand Christian religions. Each one disobeying a little, to a lot!

    It is the "Independents" that work at Obeying ALL of the Bible. None trying to get out of obeying God!

    According to which religious law would the world be governed?

    Yours?

    I think I'll take my chances with secularism.

    Not as taught and interpreted by Muslims. Neither then.

    Theoretical extremes? No, hell on earth either way.
