  • Should the populous be brainwashed? NO!

    I would have liked your question better if it were "Even there was a God would religion be necessary?". That's how I first misread it. In either case, I don't think religion is necessary.

      I agree. Still, wouldn't religion be useful to keep assholes in check who without faith in a deity would behave extremely violent?

      • No, just tommythecat. Often religion is used as an excuse to behave extremely violently. If people want to do something wrong they will find a way to justify it.
