I see the problem " Does God exist?" irelevant, because it doesn't affect us.
God's existential status doesn't matter to me either, but it certainly does affect a good portion of the population in the U.S., especially the enormous chunk that subscribes to a fundamentalism.
But the point of what I wrote was to say that the premise in this thread's title is faulty because disproof like proof of the undefined is not possible. So speculation about a tomorrow that follows upon the impossible is pointless.

Well it is posible to lead the world in chaos but not something good will come out of it .
Well considering that there is nothing unique to religion that is good, I am calling bullshit on your argument, if you could even call it one.

So are you saying that if religion will suddenly disapear , people that depend emotionally on it won't be affected ?

I'm pretty sure not much would change. Maybe a little less terrorism.
But I would bet that most people are more ethically bound by laws and customs than by their religious mores. I think human societies are remarkably corrective.

Depends on the laws , in my country the laws are very easy going , so people aren't really afraid of them. For killing a men with premeditation the penitence is from 15 too 25 years .

Silly topic creator, even if there were empirical evidence there was no god--the Christians and Muslims and Jews and whatnot would all just say they don't believe the evidence. Many of them already do it for evolution.

Yeah that is a real problem . This I think it comes from fear. The only way to overcome that is to rationalise.

Religion would fade but the die-hards would remain, and likely become more desperate in their tactics.
I have encountered a number of Christians who have stated, categorically, that if their god or holy book was proven 100% false, that they would still believe.
Let that sink in.

The saddest thing isn't that they think that way of religion , is that this way of thinking resonates in all the aspects of their life .

15 years is a long damn time. I'm not sure what your point is here.
