If everyone was atheist, politically correct and a secular humanist...what would the world be like?

Question

Because thats where its headed.

As believers have decreased, crimes have increased.

Major problems in schools were chewing gum and tardiness...now its guns and drugs.

We are morally in the stone age and technologically in the space age. Why will going more in this direction be the answer??

Answer 1

Except...the countries with the least religious people have the least crime rate. Our problems aren't due to dying faith...it is due to the religious trying to prevent what they see as dying faith with fresh fervor. Oh, and race and political problems don't help either....

Answer 2

Morality has little to do with atheism.

You're mixing it up with capitalism and hedonism.

The problem lies with the artificial need to consume endlessly, so much that people now see each other in terms of profit and usefullness.

The Church isn't the social solution. People started leaving their religions and their structure when they realised how dictatorial they are.

An atheistic society (which it isn't at the moment) would follow the basic principles of atheism: there is no god, humans aren't perfect, so let's not believe that what one guy says is. Such a society would be based on science and social sciences.

But there are no atheistic societies at the moment, only capitalistic and technocratic ones.

If it is to happen, it will probably take 500-1000 years...

Answer 3

A reprioritization of our society is in order, I agree. Divergence from a Bible-based social morality will help us forget the evil, tyrannical role model that God is to us. God advocates whatever people want him to...he's used as an automatic authority and justification for many terrible ideas, like homophobia, racism, war. Not only these specific things, but the entire mentality that there is an afterlife is contrary to progress. People need to crawl out of their traditional religious isolation and we'll all gather up together in reality and try to do some good.

Answer 4

Like it is now.

There are so few true Christians. There are tons who have Christ's name on their lips, but their hearts are far from Him. They are nothing more than Christianized secular humanists. That's the new age craze, and Christendom has not been left out. Just like when Constantine Christianized his pagan subjects by letting them keep their practices, only do them in the 'name of Christ', so now does modern Christianity with their Christianized psychology. James Dobson ring a bell?

So yeah, pretty much like it is now.

Answer 5

confident. enable human beings party, protest, burn a flag or a puppet of Obama. Woop de doo. take a glance on the a hundred,000 civilian deaths from the present Iraq conflict (while Al Qaeda became into regularly occurring in Afghanistan). If human beings burn a flag over this, the U. S. gets off ordinary. additionally, what the 1st answer states, extremely.

Answer 6

Not much different that it is today.

It is within human nature to have the tendency to learn to be in the moment. The moment of survival, the moment to be the one on top, the leader, in what ever aspect it may be.

We will always find a reason to be in conflict with one another, no matter how much we change, we will remain the same.

Answer 7

More HUMANE.

More of a world fit for humans and other living things.

Uh, all the crime etc., since most people are religious believers, the current world is the creation of religious believers much more than the creation of atheists, humanists, and people who don't hate people because of their race or sex.

Answer 8

Um....right...hate to say it but I'm an Atheist and I'm not politically correct, that was created by Christians who didn't wanna offend anyone (since most of the Governmental personal are Christians) and I hate to say it, but most of the crimes are done by the religious people, and most of the ones with drugs and guns are Christians...not Atheist, I know a LOT of Atheists who are more "Christ-like" than most Christians are!!! How do you explain that? And the Christians (at least my generation of Christians) are the ones who will bring the destruction of the world upon us, not Atheists, sorry, but that's just my opinion and my experiences...

Answer 9

It would be much better without all the wacked-out religious nutbags killing each other because "God told me to take your land by force." Why are you under the impression that humanism causes crime? Surely, you are aware that most of the American prison population is Christian? And what about all the child molesting going on in the churches? Secular humanists aren't causing that.

Answer 10

HAHAHAHAHAHA

wow someone has totally lied to you the worst school shoot even in the US happened back when prayer was still in school

and all this stuff was always here...just often ignored or never heard about.

lets face it and try to be honest here...when you were 5...if you said to your grandmother that Pastor sonso touched you...you woulda been slapped to the ground and told not to speak that way about a pillar of the town...nobody would have believed you!

nothing has changed at all, we just know more than we ever did. We listen to our kids more than our parents did. We no longer assume anyone is not able to harm them, as we once viewed folks like cops and prechers...we now know they ARE the ones that ARE doing this stuff more than that wierd guy at the end of the road.

and our fear/caution is much higher now due to that fact.

please think, don't let the Snake oil salesman at the pulpit do it for you

Answer 11

Sorry to take issue on this one, but it's a fact that there are more believers in prisons the world over than non-believers.

Delete this if you choose, (because most believers can't cope), but it is a verifyable fact.
