Religion is NOT the problem

Description

Seriously, when you look up in your history, we've been to that point already.
And guess what? Religion is STILL here.

"What about the wars that religion started?"

Really, you can't go blaming all of people's actions on their beliefs. That's like saying that all people with mental disorders are going to kill everyone or spread their "disease" simply because they have a mental disorder.
That being said, people really shouldn't shift the responsibility for their mistakes onto their beliefs:



And while we are on the subject of war, are you forgetting about the Civil War, WWI, WW2, the Cold War, China, Hitler, Stalin, Communists, etc.? All those had little or nothing to do with religion. My point is, getting rid of religion will not end war, because people will always find something to fight over and get violent. That's just human nature.

"But religion has done nothing good for us!"
Actually, it s done more than you would think:
- It has inspired some of the most famous scientists in their work. If people had ignored their studies simply because their religious views were unacceptable, we wouldn't have the scientific foundation studies today!
- Before all the hype with the media, music flourished in religious environments, and still does today.
- Some of the most famous and moving pieces of art were designed by people with religious beliefs.
- Without religion, we wouldn't have had started schools that supported free education.
Again, read up on your history.


To those who still believe that religion must be terminated, why don't you try and terminate fire while you are at it? It's done some much harm to us as well, destroyed crops, land, has destroyed families and killed or injured so many people each year, so it can't possibly be of any good for us.
My point in saying that is this: you can't tell people to stop believing in something, because it is just natural for people to have different opinions and beliefs. These kinds of stuff naturally exist in our world.

Even if you don't agree with religious beliefs, you do need to give them at least a little bit of respect. Because violence never did anything to solve it.

I am a spiritual agnostic but I laugh at all those naive anti-theists shouting "Imagine no religion". XD Religion will simply NEVER disappear. If Christianity or Islam was removed completely, something else eventually would replace their position with itself.

The history of Communism has proven that to us and it is undeniable. Despite its explicitly atheistic nature and goal to establish a "new man" and a religious-free utopia, Communism became too much like religions - Communist regimes were dogmatic to the core and generally gave rise to personality cults that are indistinguishable from cults of religious hero worship
