(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Well walking a few days ago me and my friend stumbled upon an argument. What would the world be like without religion? He said there would be more crime and etc. Although people don't commit crime because their religion says not to. They do it because of laws. To put it bluntly if you commit a crime you go to jail. I said that there would be less controversy and fighting over which religion is right and blah blah blah, and that we would come together as people and have more technological advances. I look at it like this. No religion=Star Wars on Earth. He looks as it as. No religion=More Crime on Earth.

What do you guys think? Discuss.

A terrible place because death anxiety.

Religion was just an invention by some very smart people as a way of obtaining money.

Science proves all. You can prove science but you can't prove religion.

I'm not religious in anyway, but if you are going to use the old 'science proves all'. Science can't prove god isn't real. Not saying I believe in God, but science doesn't prove everything.

How would we all go to Hell? Without any religion there would be no thought that Hell even exists and nobody would think anything about it...

The only thing that makes God "real" is peoples faith in him. You're right science can't prove he exists only your faith, hope, and belief in him does.

I think that there would be much much much less war but much more vandalism because people would have less morals and no one to follow as a leader.

what are the chances of him being how we portray him though :/

Agreed. But remember we would still have laws. Laws keep peace, and stability. Its not because of religion people don't commit crimes but because of laws and rules.

Yes, but many people don't do these things because they want to an afterlife of some sort or they are afraid that "god" will punish them in some way.
