Let's get this first thing straightened out: the title isn't literal, it's metaphorical. Just think, without religion the world would be much better. No disputes over the "right" thing to believe. That means no wars over religion. We'd have more money because we wouldn't have to donate, build churches, etc. We'd have an overall better outlook on life because our consciouses wouldn't be so powerful.

Thank you for you comment, despite it's trollish nature, it still has a nugget of truth. Perhaps camm95, next time you post you could elaborate on these sorts of things?

Ah but atheism doubts the existence of a god no? Am I a personification of doubt because I won't jump into a bottomless pit, when someone told me it was three feet deep? No.
well no origionally religion was a way for goat herders and barbarians to explain what they dont understand, when people doubt that they are doubting lies and mad propheies
