Please explain your answer below.

Religions are by their nature divisive.
 
Look at Ireland, the Middle East, Africa and European history. millions have died from religious conflict and oppression in the name of religion. So no religion no death in the name of religion think no ISIS no Al Shabab no pogroms no holocaust no Catholic V protestant killings like you in Ireland and to lesser extent in Scotland.

You wouldn't have the stagnation that religion brings to science and scientific teaching.
People would start looking at what is true not what they want to be true.

You wouldn't get well intentioned but misguided abstintence only family planning.

 You wouldn't have the oppression of homosexuals and women to the extent you do now.

You wouldn't have the child murders in Africa where they are accused of witchcraft.

You wouldn't have the murder of albinos in Africa because of their "magical" properties.

You wouldn't have the so many awful things and religion brings nothing positive to the table that a secular organisation couldn't.

So a world without religion would be great....wont happen though.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis.
