And both religious and secular alike still play by this natural law because we treat other animals a lot lesser than we treat other humans simply because we fill we are more 'fit' to do so.  

There are a lot of vegans in the secular community. I'm not one myself, but I don't think like you do concerning animals. And that's because they can suffer too, just like us humans can. They may not be as smart as humans, but that doesn't exactly justify the aggressive speciesism you're putting on display here.

This right here makes you sound particularly retarded.

OP, do you actually think anyone cares what imbeciles will do once they realise they're imbeciles? Thankfully, there are a lot of people in the world who wouldn't allow idiots to take over and shit over everyone else just 'cause. I count myself among those people.

Why does aggressive speciesism need to be justified?

Many people calling themselves christians already live survival of the fittest and don't give a shit about the homeless or the poor. Especially conservative politicians. The more to the right, the more despicable.

Would something bad happpen if christianity died? Hell, yes. The void would be filled by some new religion, some new ideology. An unknown quantity. And given human nature, it won't be pretty.

In England it's getting replaced with dribbly woo shaped new age deism claptrap. A great improvement, in my estimation.

Want answers to what happen when christianity dies? Look to Scandinavian countries where it is in agony. Less religion isn't hurting the society despite what indoctrinated like to say.
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.
