I honestly don't know, so I won't choose either, but I recall someone saying something like, if God did not exist, man would have invented Him anyway.
If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him. ~Voltaire
A world without any sort of spiritual belief would be imaginary only. If people didn't have religion, they would have faith in other things, whether they be political ideology, science, something else.
Couldn't agree more. At the risk of derailing the thread, many cons believe that government is the religion of the secular left. I think it's true.
To a certain degree, I suppose. Many liberals, including yours truly, often view government as "problem-solver of the first resort." I guess you could say that's a sort of faith.
Religion gives many people a purpose in life. I don't see the world better off by depriving them of that.

If you could magically make religion disappear people would find something to worship it seems to be hardwired into our DNA. Many people who don’t believe in god find something or someone else to glom onto. Money, people or ideas, like global warming for instance or earth worship or Obama as a savior.
Disagree. We just don't need extreme people. Having some faith and morals is not too bad
The world would be better with no religion at all. Agree/disagree
