Would the world be a better place without religion and nationality?

Answer 1

Yes it would.The 3 things i hate most are:Organised religion,Racism,& Nationalism.It's time we grew up & viewed the Earth as one country,in which we are all it's citizens.

Answer 2

Its an impossible question to answer, because without different nationalities and religions the world would probably cease to exist, as there would be no person left.

Answer 3

I am not sure nationality would make much difference because there are still so many differences that people can persecute against.

Religion however has been the starter of wars for all eternity as people believe that they are doing Gods work and cannot therefore be wrong. Without organised religion, people would be more open minded and perhaps consider consequences alot more as they would not be being mislead by out of date texts!!!

Answer 4

If you look back in history you will see that religion is one of the biggest causes of wars, but again, its the leaders who blind the masses with smoke,mirrors and pure lies to bear arms against the enemy of their religion (don't ALL religions preach love and peace? hmmmnn!) For e.g. The Spanish Inquisition, The Crusades and the present day Jihads. In the U.K. we ALL had to suffer the religious hatred of the I.R.A & the U.D.A. a group who prayed to the same God but in a Catholic & Protestant (both sects of the SAME religion) way round about the same time when they would knee cap,torture and kill each other just through religion. Check it out! ALL the worlds religious terrorist zealout groups preach about cleansing your body and cleansing your soul but still manage to find themselves wandering into a brothel for a wee white line of powder and a roll in the hay., but HEY who's gonna find out?

This isn't meant to be a rant. LOL. But you DID ask the question!!!

Answer 5

No it wouldn't. People need something to identify with, they need to belong to something, I value my religion and nationality, they are important to who I am and I'm sure there are millions of others across the globe who think the same and I respect that. A world devoid of them would be a boring irrelevant place. What we need is a tolerance to let people enjoy and be proud of their faiths and cultures, everyone has something to contribute.

Answer 6

Politics & religion never works in this crazy world of ours.
Each of us are entitled to our own opinion, if we choose to live in another part of the world then the saying is When in Rome do as the romans do! dont use religion as an excuse to change the world of others.
and if we dont like it we should move on or back to our own part of the world.

Answer 7

It would as religion is the cause of all wars through the history of time but if religion and nationality was abolished people would split into other groups such as fat or thin and ugly and good looking so it would be back to square one.

Answer 8

Yes but we would probably only find something else to argue about - race, height, eye colour, etc etc

The main problem with religion in particular is that once someone or a group of people think that God is on their side they think they can do no wrong and the result is untold misery.

Answer 9

I don't think so. We'll begun on war by other reasons.
Religion and nationality are only excuses. The biggest problems are petrol, work, poverty, etc. They are the real reasons.

Answer 10

No, people just use religions and nationalities as excuses for their behavior. If religion and nationality didnt exist, people would find something else to justify their behavior.
