Are all religions dangerous? Some religions work for the well being of the society with charities and stuff. Or no?

My theory is that religions are created by creative storytellers with empathy for poor people, and people with a strong emotional lacking. It’s to give hope to the hopeless. They stimulate a lot of self reflection. Sometimes good, other times not great. Religions also inspire various forms of art in a way that no other movement has been able to. Other than that, I see no point to any religions. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Helps those who aren't doing well emotionally 3. Promotes good self reflection at times 4. Inspires art like no other movement So, should it be removed? No more empathy for poor people or great artwork? Then replace with what to fill in what we will be missing without it? |

I personally make a distinction between the religion of an individual and an organized religion. Few acts of "evil" have been perpetrated by an individual acting on their own religious beliefs. Yes, you can point to examples, but compare those to the examples where an organized religion caused death and destruction and they will pale in comparison. Religion should be much more a personal thing, in my own opinion. And on the personal scale, it can be very good for exactly the reasons stated above.

A world without religion is very much possible and it more or less exists already, in the West at the vet least. However it won't be a particularly good world. In getting rid of region you will get rid of many concepts like morality, purpose, beauty, spirituality etc.. religions can be dangerous but religion with it's potential dangers is superior to the alternative. A godless world is a valueless, amoral, ugly world.

As you know the religions are dangerous for Brins... What are "Brins"? |

The world will free itself of religion when and if it no longer finds a purpose for it. As the scientific world expands and the god of the gaps is pretty much all that is left, fewer critical thinking individuals will need formalised religion. But, spirituality feels like almost part of the human condition.

A godless world is a valueless, amoral, ugly world. I respectfully disagree. Religion is not a prerequisite for morals, purpose etc. People do not need the threat of hell or a vengeful god in order to know what the correct way to behave in society. Evolution is the reason we are all still here. A godless world is more valuable. I’m here once, there is no second chance, do the best you can and do as you would be done by. |

God is the objective foundation for purpose and morality among other things. There is no morality in the absence of God. That's a fact many atheists have been forced to accept. Stop being in denial. |
