Religion is the source of most of the worlds ills?
Like many large groupings I think religion is one of those things where, on an individual level, probably has done more good than ill but on an organizational level it may be a bit more hazy.
That said, I don't think religion being vanquished from existance would necessarily make the world a better place. I think most religions, at their core, are things that promote good virtues and good things. I think its only when you have people that manipulate it to do ills that you start getting problems, and those type of people would most likely just latch onto something else to go about it.
Really, the best take on this...like so much for politics...in a unserious and base means of discussion is simple....South Park.
Allied Athiest Alliance go!
I don't even think it's hazy. On an organized level it is or has shown time and again to be an absolute failure. Hence I am non-denominational.
What I don't understand is why highly intelligent people like Dawkins etc. think it would. I don't think I will ever understand it.
+1 For South Park Reference!
Unified Atheist League go!

Do you think if it were to disappear tomorrow, the world would be that much better?
