What would happen if all religions stopped tomorrow and no one practiced any sort of religion or had faith in any Religious Literature or talked to any invisible friend? Then what would happen? Some say that atheists have no moral grounding yet other say that;

“Good People do Good Things and Bad People Do Bad Things and It is Religion Which Causes Good People to Do Bad Things!”

Interesting line of thought isn’t it and it is exactly the opposite of the comment by religious folks who say if you do not believe in God or Jesus Christ that you have no moral grounding. Actually to anyone who really focused on this debate; they would have to say that such arguments hold no water at all.

In fact doing good or being good is not mutually exclusive to only those of faith and there is indeed ample justification to suggest that much of mankind’s worst atrocities are indeed caused by religious beliefs or by those of religion, who are somehow able to justify their actions via an interpretation of religious literature. But what if all religion just disappeared tomorrow?

Would the world be worse off or would mankind be better served in this case? And would you say that your answer to the question is based on yourself and you own belief system rather than being honest and accurate with this philosophical question at hand? Consider all this in 2006.
