Eliminating Religion?
#1
Question 
Eliminating Religion?
You cannot eliminate religion wholly; there are individuals who need to believe there is something superior to look forward to, merely beyond the material world and towards the afterlife. There are aspects of religion that are negative, but demolishing it is an entirely different thing. Religion will always be a part of humanity, and the very notion of eliminating it altogether is impractical, religion is so concrete all over the world. It provides a “truth” which creates safety and specialty, for a person who can strive to ignore reality; it can be used merely as a crutch for some individuals. There are individuals who do not support religion entirely, but, on a perspective for a personal necessity that one needs religion in order to survive in this world. There are over 2000 deities that have been worshiped. Some individuals do not need to rely on faith, and do not need something all mighty and powerful for support, but some individuals do, and not everyone is the same, we are all diverse.

I'm not a religious person, I'm Agnostic. But I think if you're an Atheist, you should not try to remove religion wholly, maybe religious extremist. I personally think we do not need religion in our material world, but some people do need it, alas. Any comments? I know I'll probably get ripped on, but I'm open to hear your views.
I may be lying in the gutter, but I'm staring at the stars.
