A possible solution?

Question

So much crime and attrocities have been commited through out the centuries and always in the name of religions. If all religions are based on one God, would washing away the concept of religion and only believing in God be a cause for a more peaceful world?

Answer 1

Nope.
Religion springs from fear and self hatred.
Until those are scrubbed from us - it would simply resurface.

Answer 2

I can understand how this might appear to be a solution to peace on earth.

But there is more to this . What you can see is the perpetual conflicts, wars etc.... it is the hidden causes behind these conflicts that you don't see that should be our target not religions.

Consider this:

A society is capable of surviving for thousands of years unless it is attacked from within or without by hostile forces. where such an attack occurs, the primary targets are it's religious and national gods and heroes,it's potential of leadership and the self respect and integrity of it's members.
If you look around you , you will find countless examples of these points. They scream at us every day from the newspapers and TV.
Probably the most critical point of attack on a culture is it's religious experience. Where one can destroy or undermine religious institutions then the entire fabiric of the society can be quickly subverted or brought to ruin.
For the last hundred years or so religion has been beset with relentless attack. You have been told it’s the “opiate of the masses “, that it’s unscientific, that it is primitive, in short , that it is a delusion.
The source of this kind of attack is always covert and hidden. It is promoted by a few who have a vested interest in a slave society.
Unfortunately these few rely on creating fear and insecurity in others
to forward and promote their enemy propaganda. These others feel correctly they have to defend themselves from an attack, but because the real enemy is hidden, they can be manipulated to attack what they really should be defending as they cannot see the real enemy.

The key here is that underneath all these attacks on organised religion there is one fundemental target:
The spirituality of man, your own basic spiritual nature, self respect and peace of mind.

Answer 3

Yes it would be a much better world. But so many people do not want a peaceful world, they are profiting too much. These people include all religions, most politicians, and many corporations. It is a monumental task to shut down religion with so many powerful backers. We just have to wait until they destroy themselves, and hope we somehow survive it.

Answer 4

Crime and atrocities committed always in the name of religion? Check your facts and get back to me with an intelligent question.

Answer 5

You may be onto something however, if there were to be no more religions, crime and other attrocities would just be blamed on something else.

Answer 6

I have a better idea...why dont we see what its like without ANY religion...remove all borders and let the people of the Earth live as one family?

Answer 7

people are people, we, for some reason (a reason that helped get us here in the first place) need to create religion.
Unless we deal with that specific reason and why it is there, we are barking up the wrong tree.

John Lennon asked the same question in his song "Imagine."
