Are we really smarter than animals...this is why aliens are more advanced than us. Take away religion and replace it with science, we would thrive minus using science to create war

I don't think the inclusion of government is really appropriate there as we would be in pretty poor straits without some form of governance. There can be good government but as for the other three it is much harder to prove. Science is in itself neither ethical or unethical but depends of society (government) to determine that. Perhaps it would be better to say replace religion with education based on critical thinking skills.

I’m not so sure. Lenin and Stalin took away religion and replaced it with science, and the results were mixed. No doubt there were some advantages but the human religious impulse springs back.

@blumandolin yes, but wasn’t religion drastically curtailed, and wasn’t atheism taught in the schools.
“ In the time between 1927 and 1940, the number of Orthodox Churches in the Russian Republic fell from 29,584 to less than 500. Between 1917 and 1935, 130,000 Orthodox priests were arrested. Of these, 95,000 were put to death.”
