So you don't think that in thousands of years of barbarity that one dude would suddenly suggest that , 'hey, I think that killing each other is a really bad idea', I know 'lets be nice to each other'. And strangely that made sense to a whole lotta people.

Religion has set its self up as the supreme earthly authority on two subjects that it knows absolutely nothing about, God and the afterlife. If we look at the various religions it is beyond obvious that they don’t agree about who God is. Nearly all of them claim to be the one and only correct path to God.
The one truth that remains constant is that the definition of God that they have come up with is little more than a mirror image of the particular set of biases and prejudices of the group the religion represent. Can this be just a coincidence?
With all of the various renderings of God by all of the different religions we can draw only a very few conclusions about God. Either God is a pathological liar who tries to be all things to all people or God is hopelessly schizophrenic. Personally I see too much beauty in the world to accept either of these conclusions.
To me it seems far more likely that religion is just a lie that people tell about God.
Lucky for us this lie we call religion does not effect the real God in any way.

The least religious countries are also the most peaceful, prosperous and morally progressive societies on Earth. This rather negates the claim that people need religion.

Religion is nothing but man made idiotic dogma.
All you really need is love.

People do not need laws based on myth, they need laws based on logic and the common good.
You cannot legislate love, only behavior.
