At this point in time, no. Religion can be safe to vanish from the earth. The concept of "do what I say, follow my word, ask no questions or your screwed" is a bad thing to follow.

Yes I am an atheist, and slightly anti-theist. But not enough that to be why I say that. I say that because take the idea of a god being real and what you are following is nothing more then a belief, then you see you are following nothing more then a philosophy. I can tell you that once you question your religion and then leave it on your OWN accord, it wont be hard, but you see the world different. I had a hard time accepting death. I went from Christian to Buddhist to no religion. Trust me... I want to live forever more then anyone here or that you will ever meet. I would love if reincarnation was real.. I really do. But me believing it wont make it so.

I can't say I agree. Nothing bad would happen? Maybe. But something would happen for sure would. People who are religious would feel this emptiness suddenly created and seek to find out what it is. And I can't say we would all move on easily, like nothing happened.
I'm guessing you're atheist?
Say what? I speak in general, I speak of all religions. :)

What religion are you referring to when you say that???
My not believing in a god isn't really a choice, unless we infer it from my choice not to believe anything for which there is very questionable/absolutely no evidence. If I explained further I'd basically be saying almost exactly what CallusedSilk said, so I won't.

- Are you an atheist? If so, what made you choose to believe no God exists?
