Imagine,All religious people disappear from Earth and only atheists are left.
August 19, 2013 at 4:17 pm
Let's say that all religious people just left planet Earth and only atheists stayed here,what kind of progress would we see under science,politics,peace and economics.
Do you think that we will still need weapons if there was no religion?

I always agreed with whomever it was that first said the Rapture would be a win/win.

As long as resources are limited, we'll still have wars.

I'm sure there are plenty of atheists that wouldn't mind robbing you blind and raping the missus, so yeah, we'd still need weapons.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

There are just as many psychopathic atheists as there are religious fanatics. What is worse, atheist self select for intelligence, which tend to make the average atheist psychopaths more formidable than the average religious fanatic.

Wow, you associate everything bad in the world with religion as to suggest that religious people design, manufacture and use weapons and start wars.

Before doing anything, first I would have to buy a cake and throw a party. Lots of my friends would still be around! And my family, too.

I think that there would still be plenty of "isms" that we could use to justify doing terrible things to each other. We invented religion, after all.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould
