Re: Would the world be better...............
Wow! An excellent question! Even non-belivers may not believe the world would be better w/o it.

Yes, and it is a joke to say otherwise. [/ QUOTE ] Not necessarily. Religion gives people hope and comfort. It also provides an incentive against certain non-desired behaviors.

I'm just saying it's not all bad and certainly debatable. I think it's pretty much safe to say therte would still be ingorance. Religion fills a void that could be filled with worse things.

Those from a religious background as a group thrive and contribute to society more than those without religious support. I know many parents who only start going to church again once their kids are toddlers, because they realize that this would be a good thing for their kids.
