Atheism - less war?

[Anomalocaris]

My gut reaction would be to say fewer wars.

BUT.

The same arseholes who would start religious wars would still be around and they would still be arseholes.

So who knows?

Yes, but the size of the fraud they can prepetrate to convince others to help them do more damage would now be more limited. The 72 virgins in the quick would actually be quite pitious in most cases and would not quite as easy to enjoy for many as if they were only figments of turbocharged imagination. They would be more hampered, from time to time, by the need to actually serve up real tangible validating earthly rewards.

Ok...

So what is religion then?

The thing that makes you look stupid here.
