religion no-belief in a higher being-i have to say yes-some people beliefs is reflected in their lives and they live it accordingly–i have to think many people are better for their beliefs–could be wrong as they might be really cool people just the same—smile and enjoy the night

The fear of punishment did bring some morallity into some people’s life, however that doesn’t happen anymore. It seems that so many religious people think they are moral just cause they say so.

Religions and the concept of supernatural thing brought us ghosts movies, oh how I love those!

It brought me some very interesting talks with my friends, and it made me realise just how far human stupidity can go (and I must add I learned that here, in my country people are not like this)

No, basically religion has been a complete failure.

Because any sane, rational, logical person knows that a godless, amoral, irreligious world where man was free to pursue his own selfish will, fleshly desires and wicked schemes would have been SO much better!

You said “Fellow atheists, do you think religion has ever done anything remotely useful?”

What benefits have athiest groups ever done for the good of the world? I don’t see any of them raising donations like Christians do or doing any service for people.

Many people gain a sense of hope and purpose from their religions. Many take the words of Jesus to mean that they should help the less fortunate.
I find value in many religions. I do not find any value in the **** or bigotry that some mask in the cloak of religion.

Edit- “Because any sane, rational, logical person knows that a godless, amoral, irreligious world where man was free to pursue his own selfish will, fleshly desires and wicked schemes would have been SO much better!”
Finally Paulo, you have seen the light. What? Oh it’s sarcasm, nevermind.
