Keep or Remove Religion Poll

[Mister Agenda]

But that wasn't your question. If the wand wave was to have everyone stop believing false and harmfule things, I might be able to go along with that.

Wouldn't that remove all religion?  Unless you believe there are true and non-harmful religions.  But then it goes back to what I said it all boils down to - whether you think religion harmful or not.  Not overriding people's will seems a red herring, in the sense that you're OK over-riding it to remove false and harmful beliefs.  So the only conundrum seems to be whether one holds religion to belong to the set of false and harmful beliefs.

Well, I can think of about five nontheistic religions off the top of my head, and if there is no God (or gods) there can be individual beliefs in the religion that are not directly god-related that can still be rational and true.

I'd be interested in what you find so objectionable about Ethical Culture or Untitarian Universalism that the wolrd would be better off if they were erased.
