Basically you take the political power away from Religion and you'd probably see it be alot more positive to everyone once the initial backlash from the Religious groups stopped.

By that I mean why does anyone need god to spread love and peace and care and whatnot. Just being a decent human being is enough

But they do in the name of their god. Specifically state they are doing in the name of their god. A make believe god that doesn't exist.

The decent human beings you speak of genuinely care with no thought of reward in some imagined after-life. There is a big difference. |

There's also a misconception that if you are not part of a recognised religion you are an atheist :/

Religion itself doesn't cause wars or hatred....People use their interpretation as reason to commit heinous acts. "God" or whatever deity people believe in become an excuse. Most people who believe in religion do so for the right reasons but there are exceptions in all religions who will use it to justify their own actions. Religion brings peace and comfort to many.

A religious belief is simply an idea, a thought, an opinion. It isn't something that can be measured or proven. It never will be and therefore has no right to any kind of special consideration . It only exists in some people's minds. It certainly has no right to be considered untouchable, undebateable or beyond criticism.
Yes it gives people comfort but when it is used as a way to control people or gives people reason to hate others who don't believe in the same - it becomes dangerous and more trouble than it's worth in my opinion. Last edited by Brillopad; 19-05-2017 at 10:37 PM. |

I think the same can be said for some anti-religious sentiments. |

I don't hate religious people. I just judge their intelligence.
Annie's avatar is a prime example. Devout Christians believe God made the Earth in 7 days. He didn't. It literally took millions of years to make the earth and a few million more years before there were the tiniest specks of life on it. |

The gross thing about it is, I was taught that in school at a really young age. I was lead to believe that a magic man in the sky made the world I lived on. In a week. Its damaging.

Many want special considerations because of their beliefs and many don't just quietly believe in what they believe - they want to shove it down everyone else's throats - hence it becomes problematic for others. Why should everyone simply respect what goes on in the minds of others when they have their own different thoughts. Those that make a big song and dance about it are the least real in my opinion. |
