With all the problems in the world?

Question

With all the problems in the world caused by religion. Especially religions like Christianity, Islama and Judaism causing wars killing inocnet people and terrorism why do we allow it to go on. Should religion be made illegal?

"how could it be enforced"
You could believe in your mind whatever you like but public displayes of religion could be banned

Answer 1

no it would not work to make religion illegal
throughout history people have always needed something to believe, to motviate them.

Answer 2

I agree with a person above. There should be seperation of religion from government. Religion is freedom of expression and is OK while it is kept out of the legislature.

Which is the opposite but the exact thing you are saying. You should not make any laws because a religion says so and you should not make any laws about a religion. When we do that we get the problems you listed above.

Answer 3

When you ban something, you only make people want it more.

The best way to get rid of religion is through education. If people everywhere were required to study theirs and every other religion, both in history (where and how their religion was made up) and in factual errors ridden throughout their "holy" books, we could be rid of religion permanently within 50 years.

Religion depends on ignorance to survive and propagate. You can see that in the rise of fundamentalism in all cults; they are the most willfully lobotomized people in the world.

Arabian wind
The Needle's Eye is thin
The Ships of State sail on mirage
but drown in sand
in No-Man's Land
where ALLAH does command

What good is spilling
blood? It will not
grow a thing


"TASTE ETERNITY"
the sword sings Blues for ALLAH
In'sh'ALLAH


They lie where they fall
There's nothing more to say
The desert stars are bright tonight,
let's meet as friends
The flower of Islam
The fruit of Abraham


The thousand stories have
come round to one again
Arabian Night
our gods pursue their fight
What fatal flowers of
darkness spring from
seeds of light


Bird of Paradise - Fly
In white sky
Blues for ALLAH
In'sh'ALLAH


Let's see with our heart
these things our eyes have seen
and know the truth will still lie
somewhere in between


Under eternity
Under eternity
Under eternity
Blue
Bird of Paradise
Fly
In white sky
Under eternity
Blues
for ALLAH
In'sh'ALLAH

Answer 5

Its not religion honestly, its greed and power. Religion has liberated many people from unjust government. It is rare to have a leader of a world power be sincerely religious. Religious just seems like a vital role because that a major way to categorize people. The religious sincerely people Jews, Christian, Buddhist,
Hinduism, are those people who are suffering almost helpless as their government commits atrocities throughout the world.

Answer 6

I firmly believe in the separation of Church and State. The government should not encourage any religion or any belief. It should be completely a private matter and not on the money or in the schools.

And as much as I dislike certain religions, if you completely outlawed the public display of them, you would only make them stronger because their followers thrive on that sort of "persecution". They would only become more fanatical in their beliefs.

Answer 7

Even if it was possible and would work (which it wouldn't) how could it be enforced?
