I understand and I know you are concerned mainly with truth, but speaking hypothetically, what do you think? I suppose there are better questions, I'm not sure how to word it, just a poor question in some sense.

You can't just take something like that out like you'd adjust some level in an experiment. I don't even know what it would mean to have the same society we do now, but without religion.

What do you think of this?
Edit: then again, a common premise is that "religion is used as a mask for evil deeds." Ugh...
