Cyanide....despite non-religious people being less likely to have children, commit suicide, have mental illness, negativity towards life and of course almost all the world being religious for 10,000 years and the population increasing?

This is a bizarre meme

Without religion mankind would have killed each other off several millennia ago. It is very clear to see what happens when nations as a whole turn atheist. The Soviet Union (25 of their own citizens million dead) and Communist China under Mao (75 of their own citizens million dead). Hitler was a pagan and wanted to restore a pre-Christian Germanic religion. Not that he really was a follower of that religion. He was a socialist first and put himself about the people of Germany. That's why he felt no remorse for killing off all of the physically and mentally disabled people and then finally the Jews.

Even now China has a social credit score that if it is low then you cannot get the basic necessities of life and people are starving to death.

Atheism is not the solution, it is the problem.

The problems religions have had is when corrupt people put themselves in high positions within those religions and act in direct opposition to what the religion teaches.

There is only one religion that teaches its people to murder innocent people who do not believe in that religion. And even though the majority of that religion does not follow that teaching it is a part of their scripture. There will always be a percentage of that religion that does follow that teaching.

No other major religion that exists today holds teachings that require their adherents to kill those who will not convert. In fact it is quite the opposite. Some religions don't even pursue new converts, they rely on existing adherents to raise their children in that religion.

If you still think religion is a problem then ALL of the founding fathers were devout Christians. Yes, I do know that Thomas Jefferson and Thomas Payne were deists but that did not mean that they rejected Christianity. In fact quite the opposite. They believed in the morals that Jesus taught, just not the miracles that are recorded in the Bible.

The point is that as devout as they were they gave us the freest nation to have ever existed. Atheists gave us authoritarian dictatorships.

Without religion, there wouldn't be religion used as a way to stir up the masses to be utilized for fighting wars. Even Stalin loosened constraints on the Russian Orthodox Church in order to use its influence to rally Russian support.

Christianity has been responsible for the deaths of more people then all other religions, nations, races, continents, and whatever other entities you can come up with in history...... COMBINED.

But if you want to select a nation, then that would be England topping the number one spot for country as biggest kills tally of all time, and it could not have done that without the, well, blessing of the Church of England.

The second thing that Cristobal Colon did upon landing on the shore of Hispaniola was to plant a flag with a cross on it next to the flag of Spain. The day after that, the end of the population of that Island began. The Spanish rank second to the English in terms of kills in the name of Jesus. Ah, men.

Hitler was a Catholic who wanted to revive an imaginary paganism but stuck to Protestantism instead, the major religion of Germany. Jews were not the only people he had killed. Catholics too, as well as the Socialists and Communists you keep bringing up - whom he started World war II against. Add to that Slavs, Muslims, Africans - more Romani were killed in the Holocaust in proportion to their own population than any other peoples.

Most of the Founding Fathers were Agnostics at most - Deists, some may claim, euphemistically, or rather, for propaganda purposes. Granted, some were, but most were not particularly religious, nor known for any noticeable churchgoing habits. Being mostly educated men of means tended to have rendered them less likely to be groveling at the altar like the masses, whom, of course, they did not fail to notice tended to benefit from religion to inspire and help keep in control.

Modda??? come on.... Use that grey matter a bit. Without religion there is no morality. If there is no morality then what is stopping the majority of people from doing the most awful things.

And before you fly off the handle, stop and think. All laws are based on the morality of the prevailing religion.

Mankind would have gone extinct thousands of years ago.

As much as you hate religion (and you know that you do), think about it. Think real hard. Get those brain cells working really hard. For all of the bad you think religion has caused, think beyond that and see the overwhelming good it has done.

Of course there would be morality. And if somebody's morality hinges on a grouchy bogeyman in the sky threatening to turn them into barbecue briquettes used for roasting the marshmallows that the saved will indulge in for the rest of eternity, well then they ain't got morality.

But, as much as I do appreciate your strawmans, that's beside the point. Of course we need religion - look how the self-proclaimed religious act WITH the spectre of a nasty old man threatening to punt them out of party and into a suana turned up to 1020° in the shade, imagine how those hypocrites would be without religion? Remember the Moral Majority and what happened to that? Our very own modern day prophets all went diving into the big sulfur pit one by one. Is the Bible Belt even still a term anymore? Oh, that's right, we just called them Red States now. The Rapture Crew canceled themselves out.

Good grief, you're so geared towards being a contrarian whipping crepe paper strawman, you ain't even looking to see what said strawman's face looks like.
I can give you a pile of good things that have resulted from religion - from Christianity - from Catholicism - even from Protestantism - but why make it easy for you and doing your argument for you? You're having such a dandy time bearing false witness just in case I might need company when I end up dancing the Crock-Pot fricassee in the 'other' place for the duration of my immortality for me to spoil for you.
I just like spreading a good cheer like that. Because I aim to please.

It's a shame you have such disdain for religion. If only you would actually take a LOOK at the message instead of a facsimile of some bogus retrofitted words that some make oil dealing money sucking vampire on television told you to say, you might actually benefit. Maybe even people around you too. Maybe.
