Finish the line: If religion never existed...
Here is mine:
all businesses would be open on Sunday.
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
Humankind would probably have reached the stars by now.
humanity would never have made any advances, as before science, the men in silly hats helped focus our collective energies for the greater good. Now science has taken over hopefully it will operate for the greater good rather than stone cold logic [in which it could see the lack of use for homo sapiens on earth]
Ahhh chick-fil-a nuggets would be available on Sundays for my whining spawn ????
The world would be a far better place...
Humanity would be at least a thousand years more advanced.
...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.
