what if there was no religion?

There would be continues wars as it was when we were barbarians before religion. \nBut it was the way of life back then til we started caring about life. \nBut now instead of killing the weak we try to help the weak.\n\nYou can study how animals are towards each other and that's how we would be now. \nReligion caused use to think more of ourselves, science caused us to take killing to a higher level though. \nThey can kill everything on the planet with one test tube of virus.

Yeah, they could have. Any religion could have. It's just a matter of time. Although I can't see no buddhists bombing towers... :) I am no buddhist.

My religion is right because I have no religion. No religion has empirical evidence or proof of it's claims (that's why it's called a religion), so none of them are right.

There would be no world.

Imagine if Mary never opened the tomb.\n\nWe would stand outside the tomb today, and argue with EQUAL PROBABILITY whether or not God exists.\n\nNow THAT would be a religious debate worth having.

The leavings would have no mass, no length, no width, no depth, no measurements of any kind and there would be no beings in existence, sentient or otherwise,  to perceive this lack of existence so nothing would be here not even here would be here. It would be nowhere.

I'd eliminate all religions

There is no Heaven.  If there were a Heaven, I'd have to know more about it to decide whether I'd want to be there.  Yes, if it existed, it might suck.  What would be the purpose of a Heaven anyway, except as a bribe by the churches?  Surely, no god is in need of little humans worshipping him.

none, because I want to accept things as I see them, not how others, and especially ancients see or saw them. the religions of today are to old and full of crap to be relevant in today's society. religion has caused more major wars in the history of mankind than any other single factor. Lack of religion has caused none. ever heard of an atheist st. petersburg? Have you ever heard of an athiest saying "i killed them because no god told me to"?

that is what you think? well we have different religions because all of us think that way. If we would have thought alike there would have been no religion at all. People to make their point in a different term, coin out a new religion and then people follow them.. and this continues forever.. The only true religion that existed at the birth of mankind and even today and even after all religions would cease to exist is the religion of Humanity....

Don't have to do anything. God never existed in the first place.

I DO THINK THAT RELIGION IS THE CAUSE OF NEARLY ALL THE WARS.YOU ARE MISTAKEN WHEN YOU SAY THAT THERE WOULD BE NO AFTER LIFE. JUST BECAUSE OF THERE BEING NO RELIGION. THE THOUGHT OF AN  AFTER LIFE IS THERE EVEN WITHOUT RELIGION. BECAUSE OF EXPERIENCES OF NON BELIEVERS AS WELL AS PEOPLE WHO HAVE A RELIGION. PEOPLE FIGHT ABOUT OTHER THINGS AS WELL AS RELIGION. SO WHO KNOWS IF IT WOULD BE A BETTER WORLD?

Nothing of this kind would happen. The stranglehold of  religion is so strong on human minds that even the discovery that there are other parallel universes elsewhere would not loosen it. In fact, the findings of such a bewieldering variety of intelligent 'human beings'    would firm up their faith in God and belief in His infinite capacity of creation.Perhaps if the aliens are also religious they might be having similar ideas of their being created in the image of their god in which case there would a confluence of ideas further bolstering religion.When the monotheist and polytheist religions came into contact with each other both of them adjusted their beliefs to the new findings. The monotheists took that the many forms of god are but the multifarious manifestations of a single god. The polytheists joined in by saying that God is essentially one and only one and all others are his forms taken by him on various occasions. The Indian philosopher Shankaracharya says that even a savage performing human sacrifices is a religious person in no way inferior from the philosoher who attempts to attaain god merely through meditation.  The difference is only in degrees.The savage does not sacrifice human just for satisfying his tougue with flesh. He has an unclear and yet definitely an idea to rise above him.The clash of civilisations which is at present  much talked about is not essentially bad. It is an opportunity of evolving a deeper understanding of each other.

Would seem like it, wouldn't it?  Think without religion people would have to turn to common sense ... :)

Science seeks the answers. Religion closes its eyes to the nature of the Universe.

Nobody. I mean no body.  If Christ had not risen then there would be a body entombed somewhere on the face of this earth.

Laws don't come from religion, they come from people wanting to be protected.  So, yes there would be laws.
