Religion is the crutch of the weak minded or intellectually blind. The world would be a very much better place if the humans upon it had not been so concerned with the preservation of their myths for hundreds of years. Think of all the knowledge of the ancient Romans and Greeks which was suppressed until the 1500s. How much further on would we be if this knowledge and line of development had been allowed to continue? Might we have already had computers in the middle ages?

No, we wouldn't. Having no religion would not have stopped the Roman Empire from completely collapsing and fragmenting the European people, ushering in the Dark Ages. Religion did not stop the Muslims from making huge leaps and bounds in mathematics. Also, the ancient Romans didn't like learning all that much. That was more of a Greek thing, another very religious people.

I couldn't agree with you more. We are told an invisible man in the sky made us and we believe it but when someone tells us that paint is wet, we touch it. How we have all been conned, I woke up some time ago though and more people need to as well.

Religion has given those without hope a reason to live, but it has also taken their lives.

Religion unites us as a species, but also tears up apart.

Religion gives us diversity, yet it stagnates the progression of the human intellect.

Religion is probably the most significant of human inventions, yet is probably the only intellectual limit to our open mind.
