Why?
You find both approaches sufficiently covered in all the holy books. Everyone can make a pick to their liking.
And I stress again. The absence of religion would only create a different world, not a better one. Human nature stands against that. In fact I find the approach of some atheists to be anti theists as presumptuous than the religious one of wanting to shove their believes down everyone's throats.
And it doesn't end there. There's more than sufficient political radicalism in this world. We keep talking about the dangers of religion while at the same time large parts of Europe are up to their neck in a sea of shit of revived nationalism. The same kind of nationalism that brought us the Great wars of the last century.
