I wish it was never invented in the first place. I would much rather have a world where we argue over which scientific theory, or whatever, is right—rather than the one we have now, where a majority argue about whose 'flying spaghetti monster,' unseen for centuries (if ever), is better and why it trumps even the most solidly proven scientific facts.
Religion is a mental disorder.
Absolutely correct.
Scientific theory doesn't tell you to love your neighbor nor does it give you strength. Religion is important no matter the specific beliefs.
You don't need to be Muslim or Jewish yourself but you could at least try to be respectful. We don't need any more hate in the world.
It doesn't and religion shouldn't need to, in fact if the only thing making you a general good person is a religion, then you're not a good person. Morals and personal strength can and should be derived from other sources.
Religion is directly responsible for the bulk of the hate, in case you haven't looked at the world around you. How many wars were started in the name of a religion? Whole groups of people are being discriminated against because of religion right now. There's a war right now because of religion. X religion people hate Y religion people just because they believe in a slightly different flying spaghetti monster. Countless lives throughout history have been lost in the name of x or y religion.
A world without religion would still have hate, crime and greed because humans are humans, but it would be so much better than currently.
