I'm not sure how much would be left, and whether it would be significantly better than a piece of paper with "Try not to be a dick" written on it.
There would be a bit of history, and some insight into the cultures at that time, to be fair.
I don't know the Quran so well, so I'm not sure if it would fare better after a purge. I would love to see people rewrite these stupid books, so that they actually say what people tell us they say.
I actually tried this experiment of removing all nonsense from the Quran. The end result was just a typical literary text, contains a collection of poems that lacks any significant meaning to them.
My idea is to establish a religion from scratch, a religion which bonds people rather than divide the world into cults. This is 'Ideal' world, Muslims & Christians take Jews as friends and vice versa. I know its impossible to make this possible because the majority of people prefer to take commands from a higher power such as a 'delusional' God.
