Why would you want to? I am a Christian and a beliver. But wheather you are a beliver or not, you want a peace world. The Christian Religion preaches peace. As the athiest and agnostics get religion pulled out of schools, public places ect as they started 40+ years ago, crime has gone up, divorce, Sexually transmitted diaseases especially aids. WOW the peace world you want is going away, Why be good if there is no reason to be good in the long run. No fear of Losing your reward, no fear of hell or eternal damnation. No God or no religion means the wicked really have no consequences and they will take what they want, murder ect ect ect. I guess I would rather live beliveing In Jesus and die finding none than not believing and finding there is. Because this life is really like a vapor. In the scheme of eternity the very short 60 or 80 + years you may live is very, very short. If you die not believing and find there is,,,OUCHHHH,,,, eternity is a very long time to spend being punished. Know God,,, Know PEACE,,,, NO God.... No peace.
This is America and I respect your opinion. Please just contemplate this.

You can't. Some people need to believe in Gods and mythical figures to not only have someone to lean on but someone to blame when things go wrong. I believe the world would be a more peaceful place if there was no religion, however that will never happen because organized religions feed on peoples fears and insecurities. The sad part is these sheep do not even realize they are being taken.

You are thinking about doing the same things you are complaining about...controlling others. You will never be able to control others...its more fun to make fun of them here any how :)
World peace is an excellent goal..it starts with letting go so stop the testosterone...let the Goddess Rule...in other words hand over the reins to women. It is the men and male control that have ruined everything. There was matriarchy in the ancient world and stories of the peaceful land of Atlantis as a result. We can return to it....stop controlling, start loving and laughing and feeling good!!!!!!!!!!

What makes you think religous people need 'deprogramming'? What an arrogant thing to think. Are you so utterly certain that religous people have not given careful and thoughtful consideration to what they believe?
Are you also going to 'deprogram' all nationalists? All communists? All political activists? All environmentalists?
What will you do? Wipe every human beings mind clean?

Unfortunately, it will take time for you to learn:
1 -Peace is a large part of religion.
2 - There is no "deprogramming" God.
Good luck in your ventures!
I hope the peace you find soon is when you see the real Truth

Egotistacle question. You can't do it.

They had the same idea. Reality is one's preception your's doesn't match many out there's no matter the creed or race.

Why would you want to? Granted, many people have suffered greatly as a result of religious ferver, but it has also greatly enhance the lives of many people. Do you really want to deny them that? Would you want to be "deprogrammed" from believing in no religion? How about live and let live?

A peaceful world? That's easy! Here are the steps:
1. Kill all religious people
2. Kill all atheistic people
3. Kill anyone who's left
See? Wasn't that simple? And to think that peace on earth was so easy to achieve...
(NOTE: If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm kidding. My point is that ALL people, not just religious people, are at fault for the sorry state of the world.)

No, you can't. No one have no religion. Even atheism can be consider as a religion. Why? They believe in themselves. If you want to deprogram all the religion-minded person, wait until you see the moon turn red.
