What single thing would you do to make life, and the World, better for everyone?

Turn off all phones, laptops, radios and everything else for one full day a week, and make people communicate with each other in real life.

I'd Outlaw ALL religions, they have been the source of practically all wars for more than 2,000 years.

Stop invading places/making excuses to get said countries oil? But then the world would fall apart and we'd have no energy

As I said the religion doesn't cause the war/ crime...radicals and extremists interpret it to their own ends. I know of no recognised religion that advocates unlawful killing and murder. You may correct me if I am wrong....

Of course they don't, and you're right, Radicals and nutters hijack every religion for their own nefarious projects!

Edit: which usually involves slaughtering anyone who doesn't believe in THEIR way- which is the ONLY way it seems!

That sounds like "Bring back the Death Penalty", unfortunately jurors are fallible as are judges and innocent people have been hanged before, but I'd say that a Life Sentence should mean for the rest of that person's natural life, Not 12 or 14 years or even less.
