This question is just asking for trouble.
Why the fcuk would eliminating Islam make the world safer? Islam is a very peaceful religion, only those who use Islam as an excuse for their extreme political views make the religion look violent. But I would not consider those people as true Muslims. It is not a violent religion, otherwise it would not be the fastest growing religion in the world, would it? The word ISLAM means PEACE.
One of the ways in which to make the world safer would be to not eliminate religions as a whole but to eliminate EXTREMISTS, Fundamentalists, and Racists!
Peace & Blessings.

Elimination, while a seemingly nice option, would probably not be enough - or at the very minimum, it would depend on how the elimination was done and what "replaced' the religions. In the case of Islam and Judaism, simply removing religion from the equation may not stop the inbred hatred and violence.
So yes, eliminating all religions would be good, but it would probably not solve all the problems associated with them.

The only thing that would make this world safe is eliminating humans. Conflict is in our nature.
I have nothing against any religion. It is the people who use it to gain power or use it as an excuse to dominate others that I have issues with.
Mao and Stalin had no religion and they are the greatest mass murderers of all time. They weren't ideologues. They were willing to do anything for power.

I don't think eliminating any religions would make the world a better place. They all have a core of goodness, which is what draws people to them. The people here who have said some or all need to be eliminated do not have a good understanding of it. You wouldn't be able to eliminate any of them anyway ... it's been tried throughout history.

Eliminating the religion of "Self" would make the world a safer more peaceful place to live. The only organized religion(s) I have issues with, are the ones that do not allow you to leave if you choose to do so.

Eliminating the carnal/literal interpretations of the texts the religious peoples hold as sacred would make the world a safer and more peaceful place to live.
"For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace." Romans 8:6

i think of you'ff locate that greater people say that faith is a considerable excuse for many wars and conflicts, no longer the "root reason". It extremely relies upon on how religions die out, i.e. in the event that they die out through fact each person attain a element the place they comprehend that religions upload no longer something to existence and that they seem to be a stupid element to kill for, then it could produce greater peace. I disagree, Islam is inherently a greater risky faith, particularly dogmatic, and looks to be plenty greater aggressive approximately spreading itself by employing any skill plausible. i could say interior the subsequent 10 to 50 years, Islam would be a considerable danger to human rights and civil regulation.

Religions are going to continue to evolve to suit man. Our big brains are in conflict with our carnal nature. Religion is a product of evolution and performs to reconcile the conflicting sides of human nature.
I would love to see the Abrahamic religions assume their rightful place in mythology, however I respect the culture and history that those faiths have contributed to mankind. The superstition that fuel those religons is troubling but I have faith that in time humanity will abandon superstition in favor of reason and enlightment.

Its not the religion that is the problem it the faith. Refusing to even consider something you believe might not be true because you fear hell is a big problem.
I have no issues with people who are open to the possibility they might not have everything figured out. Ideas change as more discoveries are made.

All religions. Eliminating all religion would make the world immeasurably safer and more peaceful. If by "religion" you mean "set of beliefs for which there is no evidence," then I have issues with every religion. When people start to actually investigate reality instead of sticking to their unfounded beliefs, the world will be a much better place.
