Yes, there is a lot of differences (when you look at details). Though I could agree they are not especially significant.

Even if it were possible to prove God/dess's _non_existence, I doubt it would be overly advisable. A _lot_ of those people who still believe, also feel compulsions to do objectively-evil things; and only don't act on those because they fear earning eternal punishment. Take away the stick, especially while also taking away the carrot, and you'll create a Hobbesian world again. TLDR: no, outlawing religion won't get rid of hatred toward the non-cishet and is unlikely to remove racism or sexism either. But if you somehow manage to do it, you'll get a situation where a lot of people who were acting morally but against their brain's drives (since, after all, most of you also say we have no independent mind), will instead turn into homicidal, thieving nihilists. And no, even if you believe we're all merely organic computers, it's not possible to fix the hardware in such a way as to run the software the way you want. -- Chrysi Cat 1/2 anthrocat, nearly 1/2 anthrofox, all magical Transgoddess, quick to anger Call me Chrysi or call me Kat, I'll respond to either!

Read some history. Then *think*. The prevalence of religion has blighted the lives of thousands of millions of people over the ages.

Humans ran a couple experiments, one in the 19th century, a handful in 20th century, with a few still running. They set up a few countries that did their best to eradicate religion.

The Nordic countries (Scandinavia and Iceland) are rapidly approaching zero without torture and mass murder. But then, you are claiming "irrelevant" rather than "contradicted", so I guess I'm not arguing with you. -- We are geeks. Resistance is voltage over current.

OTOH, "experiment"s set up during the Dark Ages and the Middle Ages *did* have a religious focus, and were focused on, not its eradication, but its universal enforcement. > > It turns out > > they were regimes of utterly brutal torture, mass murder and even > > genocide. Yair, Funny that. All of them. And the common factor was the effort at universal enforcement of some ideology. > > Based on experimental evidence religion is irrelevant to how nice > > a government is. False. Religion, specifically monotheist religion, was the sole element of focus in the majority of those "experiment"s, and because monotheism's institutionalised bigotry was the direct cause of the "utterly brutal torture, mass murder and even genocide" that those regimes engaged in, religion, specifically monotheist religion, is very definitely relevant to how "nice" a government is. > The Nordic countries (Scandinavia and Iceland) are rapidly approaching > zero without torture and mass murder. Check out how "nice" they were in the Middle Ages, when they were Catholic. > But then, you are claiming "irrelevant" rather than "contradicted", so > I guess I'm not arguing with you.

It is not at all very complicated... It Very Simple. God is Good, everthing else is Evil! I'll give you an example.. you take a Murderer he murders somebody.. he's in jail... He's still a human person He still has his Good side, and he has his Bad side. Which side is the Murderer? Which side is the Atheist?? Atheist are Evil, plain and simple. Sure, there are a lot of religous people who believe in God who do bad things... but it is all in the name of Good. When an Israeli soldier kills a Palestian baby, it's in the name of Good. might be a little hard for you to understand...

There is no greater evil, than that perpetrated in the name of religion ! e.g. Crusades, Islamic extremists, etc.
