Answer 2

I believe in the fundamental right to choose ones beliefs, but I also believe that the roots of many armed conflicts can be traced to religion. I think that the world would be a much more peace full place without religion. One less thing for people to argue about. Isn't it ironic that almost all religions preach peace, but few refuse to use violence.

A world or singular religion seems at first like a good idea, but in practice would be the same. Look at all the other religions. There are many different kinds of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, all with different ideals. There would still be conflict.

Answer 3

Eliminating all religion would be an important first step toward an ideal world. As multiple threads on the subject have demonstrated: once religion enters the equation -- once people become convinced they hava a monopoly on "truth" or that they're beyond the possibility of being wrong -- the human mind becomes impervious to rational thought or logic.

Granted, things like patriotism and plain, stupid pride can have a similar effect; but we'll deal with each in turn....

Answer 4

I am a member of a group of people who through the years have started schools, hospitals, medical clinics, orphanages, retirement homes, counselling centres, rehabilitation centres, and services for feeding and housing underprivileged people and refugees of various types around the world for free or minimal cost. We have turned large areas of land into productive agricultural land when people have been hungry, we have pioneered stable political processes and spearheaded policy and legal reform that has improved the lives of millions possibly billions of people through history. As such I'm inclined to prefer the singular religion of Christianity. However I think religion as a human endeavour should be abolished. If it is not true in it's eternal claims then whatever good it does is just sugar coating on a cyanide pill. I am only a Christian because despite my skeptical approach to life (I believe this approach to be a safe one) I have seen too much to doubt God's existence or the central claims about Jesus Christ, but that's another story. I don't believe an ideal world is possible, but I think the current one will be vastly improved if people are prepared to look closely at the claims and person of Christ and follow his example and teaching.
Ghandi was quoted as saying he couldn't fault Christ but couldn't be a Christian on account of 'christians who didn't follow Christ'.
Stamp out religion and follow Christ and we'll see a world worth living in.

Answer 5

The way I see it, religions across the world tried to find a system that would allow people to live "better". So they created God to explain things and make the world feel more acceptable. Even for athiests who do not believe in god have their own ways of making their world more acceptable to them (like developing their own morals and understanding of society)

So its not so much of a choice between athiest world, multi religion world, or single religion as other human traits would make the world less than ideal.
If I must choose, I would say athiest in which people would not be blinded by faith and follow logic and reasoning. This is not to say some of the beliefs religion have are not based on logic but I do not like absolutes.

For example: thou shall not kill. In most cases thats a bad idea. In extreme cases, I think I would break that rule and be a cannibal if my plane crashed in some snowy mountain and unsure of my own survival.

A reply to switch_groover: diseases are inevitable and you cannot eradicate all diseases. As a living organism, there is bound to be some virus who will take advantage of our numbers. Eradicate one disease and another will take its place. Thats evolution for you :(

As far as poverty (like in africa) goes, I personally think its overpopulation of a region. Yea, its a cruel and sick thought but here is my logic. If a region cannot grow the food to support the human population there, will continual aid from overseas help in the long run? No. That is not to say do not help. If the harvest of a particular year is bad and people are not getting food, then by all means help them for that year and hope next years harvest is better. However, climates change and fertile grounds move elsewhere. This is a trait that nomads had to give up; sacrifice mobility to follow the herds in order to secure shelter. Other types of poverty like inability to pay for doctors or contaminated water (and other things that are out of human control) should be treated.

Answer 6

Religion free world

Answer 7

there is another option! That all the religons of the world are actually part of One Path and they each hold a unique piece of the puzzle. Mystical Paths teach to create the realization of a spiritual nature. Old Testestament teaches about Laws and Communities/Tribes. New Testament teaches to Sacrifice for the greater Good. Koran teaches to be submissive and surrendered to God. Bayan teaches to become a Universalist -God is Everything! Ananda Marga teaches how to recognize who the Elects really are and are of every race and culture; and now THOTH teaches how they all go together!

The mystery is finished!

Answer 8

I am an atheist but I would have to go for the one religion world, with one religion so many of the bad things in this world will be gone.

Answer 9

Can't we have a world where everyone just gets together and agrees: "Gee, you know, we really don't have enough evidence to say anything about the existence of God, much less His nature, preferences, and behaviors. Our books might have different stories in them, but they say essentially the same message. So let's agree that science is real, the basic truths of our religions' original philosophies are real, and that we shouldn't be so arrogant as to presume anything about the Higher Power if one exists."

Answer 10

I would prefer a world with plenty of religions, only I would want the followers of those religions to all get along and respect each others views.
