"Imagine" no religion

[marbs]

---

Simply out it this way,

You are alive simply because my religion taught me that it is a sin to kill someone.

Now, imagine there is no religion.

Man's history will end up less than a hundred years maybe...........

[TwoStepsFromHeLL]

no religion =peace

It's not easy to point out which wars were actually religious because even the most well known religious conflicts - Religion was merely (but an effective tool) to advocate people to join the fight. It works like an advertisement. The motives behind those were usually political, territorial, wealth and power - just like all wars.

To name the most prominent religious conflicts

Islamic Expansion - Middle East, North Africa - Early Middle Ages - (Islam, Pagan)
Crusades - Middle East, Mediterranean, North Africa (Greek Orthodox, Catholic, and Islam)
Taiping Rebellion - China (Christian)
Dungan Revolt - China (Islam)
Thirty Years' War - Europe (Catholic vs. Protestant)
French Wars of Religion - France (Catholic vs. Protestant)
Second Sudanese Civil War - Africa (Christian, Islam, Pagan)
The Troubles - Ireland (Catholic vs. Protestant)
Chechen War - Chechnya, Russia (Muslim, Russian Orthodox)
Wars in Former Yugoslavia, Bosnia-Herzingovina (Islam, Roman Catholic, and Serbian Orthodox)
Israeli-Palestinian Conflicts (Muslim, Judaism)

To say that "No religion means peace" is wishful thinking and dishonest, and there is no need to enumerate the non-religious wars because the biggest ones that were fought throughout history has very little or nothing to do with religion.

even in the pre-known religion era, even before the time of abraham..

human always tries to group themselves then name themselves as they wanted it.

and human always knows that there is a more powerful entity than he is..only dishonest to themselves denies that more powerful entities exist.

then that belief made them create a religion of their own comfort

the mayans, the aztecs etc.

no religion =peace

for a fact, only 7 PERCENT of wars fought was due to religion.

2 PERCENT of total war casualties died in these religious wars


Is Religion the Cause of Most Wars?

Wars on religion

Religious war

Death toll on Wars

World War II casualties

If there were no religion, we would be pagans, wouldn't we? And we'd worship goats and rocks. And besides, faith keeps people going. God has never showed his physical entity to us but we do believe in Him. Our belief also keeps us grounded.
