If religion didn't exist, would the world be better or worse and why?

Answer 1

I believe it would be better. You see, a lot of creationists think that morality is limited to religion. That is definitely not the case. Morality is above religion. You don't need to be religious to be moral. Furthermore, without religion, there would be less disagreement. And, I'm sure everyone understands that most of the international conflicts throughout history have, in some way, been inspired by people's religions.

Answer 2

That's an easy one; of course the world would be worse off. If it wasn't for religion our civilizations would never have developed the concepts of "right and wrong." Imagine a world where everybody did whatever they wanted to do: theft would sky rocket, if someone did something that ticked you off what would stop you from killing him?

While it's true that some people are using religion as an excuse to commit tremendous acts of violence, the world’s different religions have many more acts of good than acts of evil.

Answer 3

Without the security religion gives people we would never have advanced this far. Religion teaches people to be decent human beings, or at least most of them do. In years past the churches created many of the laws we still have today and if people would have not believed and respected those laws, the human race would have had no reason to grow and prosper like it has. There would be no governments and people would prey relentlessly on others weaknesses. It would be complete anarchy and none of us would be here.

Answer 4

if religion didn't exist, I think the world would be worse. Life wouldn't have a aim. People do not know who to pray when they are sad or happy or angry. If religion would be correctly applied, the world would be better

Answer 5

Worse, because some of religions make people good and sometimes move away from sins like violations and rape, etc...
so i would like to say the religion is important thing in our life.

Good Luck.

Answer 6

HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN MATH IN SCHOOL BUT NOT ALLOWED IN BIBLE

Seth born in year 130, [Gen.5:3]; Seth was 105 and had; Gen.5:6;
Enos in year 235, Enos was 90 and had; Gen.5:9;
Cainan in year 325, when he is 70 he has; Gen.5:12;
Mahalaleel in year 395, when he is 65 he has; Gen,5:15;
Jared in the year 460, when he is 162, he has; Gen,5:18;
Enoch in the year 622, when Enoch is 65, he has; Gen.5:21;
Methusaleh in the year 687, when he is 187, he has; Gen.5:25;
Lamech in the year 874, Lamech is age 56, in year 930 and Adam dies Gen.5:5;
Methusaleh is age 243 when Adam dies,
726 years to flood is age of Methusaleh when he dies at age 969
Gen,5:27; born year 874 + 969 = 1656,
it was year of the flood when Methuselah died.
Lamech born in year 874, was age 182, he had, Gen.5:28;
Noah in the year 1056 [Adam dead 126 years],
Noah was age 600 Gen.7:6; [born 1056 + 600 =] the flood came in year 1656.

1656 + 350 years after the flood, Noah died in year 2006, Gen.9:28,29; At age 950.

Shem age 98 at time of flood , and age 600 at death, died 25 years before Abraham died. Gen.11:10[Shem was age 100, two years after the flood]; He was age 448 when Noah died, and age 450 when Abraham was born, Abraham is son 20 in the genealogy of Jesus Matt.1:1-17; Abraham Gen.12:4[age 75]; 25:7[age 175 died];

Answer 7

Worse. Religious people are happier than non-religious people. Without morals a civilization withers and dies. Religion helps to instill moral behavior.

Answer 8

It would have been destroyed long ago.
