and you're assuming that without religion people would be more apt to fight for things they already fight over. which one of us is right? neither, because this is hypothetical.

but to assume that people would fight MORE over things they already fight over, simply because religion is gone seems illogical to me. what would cause people to have more reason to fight? i dont think that religion holds back much fighting currently.

without religion we certainly wouldnt have a quarter of the genocides we've had throughout history. im not talking about modern day extremists. im talking about whole populations being forced to believe a certain thing or face death. why is Christianity the largest religion worldwide? because they killed the most people and enforced the worst punishment to those who refused to believe, for the longest period of time. Though if you look at the bible many of its stories and signs arte past down from many many previous belief systems. im getting off track though. that has nothing to do with what im saying. im saying that without religion there would be less genocide throughout history. your saying that without religion people would just fight more for other things that have always existed. which i dont understand really.
