There are problems in this world that have nothing to do with religion, but those problems are coinciding with problems that are caused by religion. Imagine how violence could be decreased if religion was not a factor whatsoever.
As far as non-religious violence is concerned, I honestly believe patriarchy plays a major role in it. Would the world be less violent if less men were in places of power? Would the world be less violent if more women were in places of power? I believe the answer to that is yes. Women, it has been statistically shown, are less prone to violence than men.
God is the problem, too, because a belief in god always leads to a construction of religion. It is inevitable, because humans are social animals. They cannot fathom a religious belief without building some silly social construct around it whereby they share their concepts with others.
well said. and to add, if a god exists, why must i select from the vast number of preposterous religions, as to how to 'find' him?
You don't pick through religions to find him. You find him first then look at religions or not (your choice).
