A number of you here bash religion as a form of control. However, have you ever thought of what might happen if that control were removed? Do you think that modern civilization would even be possible if this form of control didn't exist? Think along the lines of those who are poor and dissatisfied with their position in life. Now, if you remove their faith of a reward in the afterlife for acting good for the benefit of others, do you think they'd continue to stay in their position of being poor? Or perhaps a great uprising of anarchy would ensue.
Perhaps this is something atheists should consider, before removing what they perceive to be the shackles of the masses.
