Religion is slowy "dying out"

So...you think that without religions the world would stabilise and conflict would decrease dramatically?

You also think that people do not need to worship God and the world would be a better place without him?

Oh ofcourse...you buy into universalism right?

Diversity in thinking will always lead to conflict.

Don't you think so? I mean, back in ancient times, we would consult religion for everything. If there's a war, we consult an oracle for what to do. If someone is accused of a murder, then we would use a technique like "I'll stick your hands in fire and if your hands are burnt then you're guilty and if you're innocent then God will protect you".

And before, the church was very powerful. And before, you had to worship X religion. And before, almost none had doubts about the existence of God(s).

Now however, the church no longer has any political power in most major countries. We no longer consult oracles to make decisions. And we use forensics to find criminals, not religious faith. And now there are more Atheists than there are Hindus and Jewish people combined.

What do you think?

You're slightly right, although the Jewish priests felt they were being insulted by Jesus.

And also, not all priests can be good. Before the priests in other conquered countries could enjoy having so much political power and so much wealth (they owned lands).

Then they are actually breaking the "Poverty" vow?
