[Serious Discussion] Religion

[IDmad]

It's because many of those unstable people are so because they are brought up in devout religious families. They are poisoned at a young age and taught that they and society cannot function without religion. If they were brought up without religion- not necessarily antitheist, but simply atheist, then they wouldn't be subjected to the same levels of barbarism (see: Scandinavia).
I'm not saying that the lack of religion is the only reason Scandinavia is so much more civilized, but religion does play a huge role in this barbarism.

Damn, you really stole the words out of my mouth

Like you can see eventho majority of the people in a country don't believe in god or have very moderate beliefs the society can still work properly. For example Scandinavia where the number of atheists of the population is between 50-80%. And the rest are either agnostic or really mildly religious.

If you think so, you really need to visit Egypt and similar countries. You have no idea how destructive people can get in here without religion. Even when it comes to work, According to our religion, Islam, hard and pure work is a must. I've seen a lot of people who work hard without cheating or scamming only for the sake of Islam.

Well tbh it seems like it's vice versa. During the Arab Spring it was total chaos out there, I doubt religion was helping too much to keep it in control...  oll:
