im not religious...but if religion was taken away i dont think the majority of the population would know how to function b/c most cant face the reality of our world...the here and now. It also sets universal morals...its a shame humanity cant do this on its own...the majority of (religious) people r walking through life blind and wasting every day they have...and completely niave

Are you really asking a multiple-choice question about the overall value of religion to society.

Re: Would the world be better...............
 

Depends on what your definition of 'better' is. In my eyes, it's a resounding yes. No religion = no Conservative Christians. No religion = no Islamic Fundamentalists. I do think this is a good question for discussion though.

Is the world better without christianity. DEFINITELY.

Is the world better without any religion. NO.

I do not believe in god but the 10 commandments are the basis of civil law that led to todays society.

I don't think all ten of the commandments are used in civil law.
There is no requirement to worship the almighty god in civil law.
There is no prohibition against idolatry in civil law.
Coveting your neighbor's posessions is one of the main engines of today's economy.
The laws against adultery are relaxed or abolished everywhere.
