Yes and no. I'm not a religious person. At best, I'd classify myself an agnostic.

Yes, for so many obvious reasons.

No, because it does have it benefits. The fear of "God" keeps a lot of people in line. Can you imagine what the world would be like if there weren't people who feared burning in hell etc? Personally, I'm happy to see the sheeple kept in their imaginary world, it makes my life a bit easier. This planet is not ready for the truth. We have not evolved that much yet.

Organized religion is the most brilliant and best selling scheme man invented. It makes more money than adult and any other industry on earth combined.

I don't think the human race is yet quite mature enough to completely lose religion, but at some point in the future I hope we will be enlightened enough to let it go.

Yes, because organized religion is the root cause of many of the world's conflicts.

Faith is fine, and should stay, but religion is causing too many problems.

Yes, yes it should. I can't believe they're still around and that people are making wars about fairytales. If human beings would start believing in themselves and help each other instead of that, this world could be a great place.

You need to clarify:

Would the world be better off if people weren't permitted to have religion?

OR

Would the world be better off if people somehow didn't feel they needed religion?

I think the world would be better off, but at the same time it would/could potentially be a much more dangerous place. If religion wasn't there the earth would be a very scientific place. WAY more than it is now as there'd be no "playing god" arguement and there'd be some seriously fucked up things happening.

Without religion all you freaks would have different jobs, and well I refuse to think that the world would be a better place with some of you wierdos in charge of something else.

The vast majority of organized religions start out as a fairly innocent thing; they unite their fellow man to a common goal, whatever that may be, and unify us as one people rather than separate us by race. Religion by itself is fairly benign, that is, until some assfucks get together and decide to abuse the system for personal gain. Soon (and sooner than later) religion becomes a monster and those who follow it become zealots. Your neighbor isn't the same religion as you? Just kill him and take his land =) You don't pay 10% of what you earn? Well fuck you buddy, your going to the worst place imaginable where it stinks to high heaven and there is no escape from it... no, not New Jersey, but HELL!

That said, there is a religion out there that is peaceful to the very core, and that is Archiotism, the belief in an all powerful robot God. What could be saner than the belief in an all powerful robotic being that manipulates the great Megasphere for all eternity, leading to great prosperity for all of those that believe in him? Archiot loves each and every one of his Unis and if we believe in him he will grant us leave of the Spheres when we die, even the great Megasphere itself, and we shall travel beyond them all in order to be with our god Archiot in order to manipulate the Megasphere along side our creator for all eternity inside our newly constructed robotic shell.

Yes, people think that we would be to wild but really we would be civilized just as easily and actually less violent.

Religion even now should not be practiced in business type church environments. Only in homes.

A very valid and interesting perspective.
Are our morals guided by religion, whether we believe in God or not? No serious scientist today would every want to clone humans, but all voice the importance of stem cell research. American scientists have strict guidelines and difficulty in obtaining funding to work on stem cells because of Bush's religious beliefs. Yet why do we accept that cloning humans is unethical?

Why is murder unacceptable in society.

Why is polygamy unacceptable in Christian society?

Neanderthal man didn't know religion. If he wanted a shag he went to the next cave, clubbed the male occupant and took his woman for a right rodgering. Is it today's society that has deemed this unacceptable behaviour, all on its own, or is it the religious right hand delivering the message?

i agree completely. if its not God or Allah, it will be a blue pickel on the moon. it doesn't matter.

further, the absense of religion is an idea that assumes man could abandone hope of an afterlife.. which just isnt going to happen.

science IS religion as well. its about believing in things, having faith in those ideas and trying to prove them correct or searching for some sign to affirm the validity of the idea or theory. no different than the average islamc fundamentalist or catholic priest or terrorist.

i can argue that god caused a car accident just as easily as you can explain the physics involved... it all comes down to what YOU choose to accept as an explanation that YOU are comfortable with.

Religion is a necessity for controlling the masses. As one good man said, "An opiate for the masses."
