*snip* but I think it's a fairly easy case to make that the world would be better off if it was free of religious belief altogether. The various wars in the middle east, perverted priests, and the entirety of the religious right wouldn't exist.

They (the problems you listed) would still exist. People would just find another excuse to do the atrocities they do instead of religion.

Think of all the petty religious people you have met. They will still exist in one form or another, but instead of focusing their actions on religious fervour, they get to interfere with things you just might care more about.

Be careful what you wish for.

I borrowed Banjo-Kazooie from one of my cousins many years ago. While giving it back to her, we had a snowball fight and it fell out into the snow somewhere.

Next spring, we found it on the lawn and dried it out. The damn thing still worked fine. A year or so after that, they had brought it on vacation. Their houseboat *burned down then sank*. They recovered it.

To this day the game works fine.
