Which religion would you Obliterate?

[Minimalist]

Some fascinating thoughts here. Thanks guys.

@Ksa, that may well be true but I'm thinking more of the temporal effects of the sociological edifice rather than the level of silliness or irrationality. The church of the flying spaghetti monster is unlikely to get a vote, not because it's less irrational but rather that it's followers do less damage in the noodly ones name (blessed be it's most magnificent meatballs).

Do not take the FSM's name in vain, heathen.

I think it highly likely that I'd put an end to the two most vile con men on the planet, Jesus and Muhammad.

Good luck finding either one, Cinj.

I voted for other. I don't care what imaginary friend in the sky people believe in as long as they aren't stupid or assholes about it. I get along better with intelligent theists than I do stupid atheists.

I'm not too big on obliterating, it sounds like force would be involved. I'd rather supernaturalist religion remain forever than have anything done to harm believers.

It's too much of a complicated question, from my personal experiences in life I think I'd have to say I dislike Islam the most, but I think if you obliterated any religion the people who were following it would just turn to another already existing one or make another one up.

Besides Islam is really just a concept and doesn't really exist in my opinion.

It's like asking do you want to obliterate the football team manchester united but the players still live on and the place manchester still exists and they still have the football stadium a place to play and money to use for a football team.
They would just make another football team but call it something else.

To hammer the point in even more that Islam isn't anything but a concept, you can see it clearly has no one solid organization, there's clear splits for a start between sunni, shia, quranist and the nation of Islam. And within those I doubt there's many people who agree what the quran says properly.

Even on this forum I don't think I've met one muslim who believed what another Muslim believed ever.
Some believed in evolution others believed in creation, some believed muhammad definitely married a 9 year old girl others said maybe he didn't.
some believed the wife has to have sex with the man whenever he wants it but I think some female Muslims probably disagree with that.
And these people are all reading the same book don't forget.

Beccs hit the nail on the head (although to keep in line with the question, I voted for Christianity for the same reason as Kitanetos). If religion just chilled the fuck out and left me the hell alone, we could coexist perfectly fine. (partially because I think that if religion had no mandate for spreading itself onto the rest of the population, it would wither and die within a few generations)

Can we obliterate a dead religion?
I'd go with Assyrians...

You know?... the assyrians did originate all the middle-eastern religions, like judaism and the others that came after it...

Since the idea is obliterate and make it as if it never existed... that sounds like a good starting point!

I wouldn't obliterate any religion because I believe that everyone has the right to believe whatever nonsense they want, but I would rather obliterate all religions through educating people and teaching them to think critically.

Christianity, because it is the only one that regularly interferes with my fucking life.
