...our world would look the same as it does now. It wouldn't be some grand utopia, nor would it be some chaotic dystopia. It'd just be full of people stumbling through life trying to get by, same as it is now.

We would be 2000 years ahead of ourselves in scientific inquiry and creating an equitable social environment in which all might thrive.

There would still be problems in the world, but I have zero doubt there would be fewer more divisive ones.

If religion never existed...there would be a lot less hate in the world today. Saints and sinners alike have used religion as a means of dividing groups of people. Religious beliefs have resulted in the most deaths in recorded history.

Tolerance acroos the board might truly be a reality.

Someone would invent it in order to control the masses and make money.

I donot know, it would have been boring. It was our first attempt to explore things . Other than blood-bathed history, it also gave us good books like kamasutra!!

There would be a lot more money to feed people as we'd not waste money on brick and mortar buildings.

The world would be a better place.

There would have probably never been war.

The Crusades and Inquisition would not have happened. People would find it more difficult to disown family members and drop friends and label others "bad".

Your asking the wrong question. The question should be, why does religion exist and why the fuck is it filled with fuck ups?

We'd have nothing to talk about.

If religion never existed chances are the Human Race would have already discovered a way to travel between the stars and beyond.

if religion never existed the world would be a peaceful place to live.

Years of precious life would have never been wasted on his garbage and he many people who lost their life to this garbage would still be here, possibly still enjoying this life. Also science would have been advanced in a lot more ways.

I'd have a lot less guilt weighing me down than I do. Especially when it comes to sexuality. I was raised Catholic. Need I say more?

Someone would try to make science a religion lol. Some people need to believe in external locus of control. I wish humans could get past that. we would be more advanced, and perhaps the earth would be less overpopulated, and less polluted.

...some government would make one up. Religion and politics are two sides of a coin

The world would be a much better place to live in, less wars, less homophobes, racists, fights over so many things that religion causes problems with.

I wouldnt be on this site

We might posibly be guided by an evolving moral philosophy. "Do not unto another that you would not have him do unto you. Thou needest this law alone. It is the foundation of all the rest" (Confucius, 500 BCE)

Stem cell research would have been 10 years ahead of where it is now and, as a result, some of my family members might still be alive.

The Middle East's early advancements in math and science would have progressed uninterrupted by a repressive theocracy and Europe's Galileo, Copernicus and others would have perhaps contributed more to those same advancements. ( ok, I'll stop now . . This is my 3rd post to this question but the question started a fire in me . . .:>

...progress wouldn’t have been halted for so long
