Religion

Imagine there were no religion. As an atheist, I write this thinking of the possibilities of mankind if there were no religion. Imagine no crusades and the Twin Towers still standing. Do not get me wrong I am not against the fact that there are different cultures out there, some richer than others, some more ignorant then others, but the moment the culture starts to mention a god or a holy being or an object to worship spiritually then that starts getting in the way of fulfilling an independent life. Think of all the wars we could have prevented with no religion, then again, most excuses behind wars were religion though the true purpose was the rulers’ thirst for power. It would do so much good for the people at this point of the book to just drop their religious beliefs and dedicate their lives to their crop and families and their own happiness; even the missionaries and the conquerors because for sure there is a wife or a relative waiting for the day in which their loved on arrives from Africa. It turns things upside-down.

I did not mean to hurt anybody’s feelings or insult any form of lifestyle.
