Would you rather live in a world without religion…or a world without science?

I don't think we could survive without science, but we'd do well without organized religion.

I would definitely prefer a world without religion. While science has definitely caused some 'evils' (ie the H bomb) religious intolerance has caused much more harm.

hmmmm... as a former physics student, i said, "Get rid of Science! (before my test next week)" But...I don't really know. Can you get rid of religion? I think people are constantly making up religious beliefs, so getting rid of them may not be plausible.

I agree, as I am an aethiest (sp? im stupid) but I think that a world without religion would cause some chaos. People rely on religion and god to help them cope with loss and death and tradgedy and stuff like that. Although, i do NOT like the fact that religion has created so much intolerance. Man invented god.

Right... other than atheists, most people try to come up with or find some religious beliefs to comfort them at times of loss or to explain the unexplainable--what happens after death??

exactly - without science we'd be stupid and without religion we'd be depressed. furthermore, people fail to realize that they are technically one and the same: a way to explain everything.

Religion explains nothing. Nada, zilch, zero.

Why would there be chaos without religion? Methinks there's chaos BECAUSE there's religion.

I dunno - I'm not religious and I'm not depressed. One could rightly argue that much of religion causes depression.
