    I don’t think all conservatives are deeply religious, but it’s the religious that prop them up. So much hate and death in human existence stems from religion. That hate breeds hate even outside the religious, quickening its spread.

    If it was gone, humanity would finally be able to begin the healing process.

      I have no qualms about the dissolution of religious structures, but I feel like you’re underestimating humanity’s ability to self-sabotage when envisioning such a rose tinted portrayal of a post-religion society.

          Are we talking about active abolition…? You want to just say “no religion anymore” to any and every person you consider religious?

          “I’m kind of spiritual sometimes…” may lead to some grey areas. Surely secular education and encouragement is the key.

            Well the original comment was about deleting it. Boom, it doesn’t exist anymore.

            It’s not like that’s going to happen, but society is going to be held back until we naturally move away from it, and people stop keep trying to impose it on others.
