Imagine are world with no religion... A much more happier, tolerant world IMO. If you need to find hope and salvation in something that was written thousands of years ago, then thats quite sad. Religion is a throwback to past times. Just look at western society - Advanced, prosperous, happy, tolerant, not many people practice religion. The middle east - backward technologically, backward in regard to human rights, womens rights (there are none), intolerant of others, many religous nutjobs.
I also find it strange that evolution is a proven fact, but somehow creation is still believed. Are these people ignorant and brainwashed?
