Does the World Need Religion?
January 25, 2017 at 10:53 am (This post was last modified: January 25, 2017 at 10:55 am by phoenix31.)
I'm sure this has been discussed numerous times already, so pardon my repetition.

I'm just wondering your opinion. Does religion help keep people in line morally, and is it worthwhile in that way?

If the world were to lose its religions, would people become pessimistic or hedonistic? Would the result be anarchy?
