i dont want to get involve too much in this debate so please dont quote me guys as this will be my only reply here

every belief regardless if its religiously linked can be used for evil...this is the most peaceful era of humanity...wars happened for thousands of years regardless of religion, humans and beliefs are enemies

I used to think religion is, paradoxically, some kind of source of evil in our world but then I looked at it much broader. You can basically say the same thing about politics or money. If you've just come to this or similar conclusion you should think about all these inventions people have made during the latest centuries. Would they still exist if it weren't for money? You can have some brilliant idea but not always you can bring it into fruition without material sources. Having all these things in mind think about the religion. It's true that a lot of wars has its root in it but there are also people who bring good to others because of their beliefs written in the books. You know, the life isn't black and white. You can't say that something is categorically bad.

The older I get the more good I can see in religion honestly

I don't think I could say it out weighs the bad it's just impossible to compare it to what the world would be like without it but it gave so many people's lives purpose, guidance, a set of morals at the very least even though they are wildly outdated I think humans are incredibly spriritual beings and we would always try to explain the unexplainable in some sort of convuluted way which would in turn kinda turn into a religion anyways so I think a human planet with out any form of religion is sortve impossible

I feel it does a lot of good for some people as religion can give people strength and get them through tough times. It can also bring certain groups together.

But to me it's a false sense of belief and also divides a lot of people as well. So I guess I have mixed feelings about it.

Overall I think people have the right to believe what they want but I feel if this was something new that was being introduced in 2016, basically everyone would think it's very stupid and ridiculous. I think most people are just religious cuz it's the way they were brought up when they were too young to think for themselves.
