We are studying Karl Marx at the moment and I have been set a project to find views from a range of people based on four questions.
As the only atheist in the class I thought this would be a good place to come to get some different answers to everyone else.
The questions are:
1. Do you think religion serves a purpose, if so what is this purpose?
2. Do you think that religion lets poorer people down?
3. Do you think religion will ever 'die out'?
4. Do you think it matters whether a particular religion is true or not and is it irrelevant as long as what you believe makes you happy?
What are your opinions on this?
1. I dont have an answer for that question
2. No I don't believe that assumption is true in the least.
3. No, although it will be extremely marginalized in the long run and no longer have much influence over our society.
4. I personally believe people should realize the truth about the universe and our place in it as reveled by science, even if it can be quite painful mentally for some people to do so. Instead of them continuing to live their lives in a delusion, even if it makes them happy. John 8:32 sums up my sentiment very nicely "you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
