World without religion: Better or Worse?

Thinking it would be better is naive. Most wars have *not* been about religion. And consider the following statistics in regard to Godless regimes: Mao Ze-Dong (China, 1958-61 and 1966-69, Tibet 1949-50) 49-78,000,00 people murdered Jozef Stalin (USSR 1932-39 only) 15,000,000 people murdered Pol Pot (Cambodia, 1975-79) 1,700,000 people murdered Kim II Sung (North Korea 1948-94) 1.6 million people murdered Tito (Yugoslavia 1945-1987) 570,000 people murdered Suharto (Communists 1967-66) 500,000 people murdered Ante Pavelic (Croatia 1941-45) 359,000 people murdered Ho Chi Min (Vietnam 1953-56) 200,000 people murdered Vladimir Ilich Lenin (USSR, 1917-20) 30,000 people murdered Adolf Hitler, a Christian in name only (Germany 1939-1945) 12,000,000 people murdered We humans are a contentious bunch.

Without religion, we'd find other things to fight over.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
