Do you see what they did there? Apparently if there were no religion, the twin towers would still be there because, hey, no Muslim terrorists to knock them down. This got me to thinking about what the world would be like with no religion. What if society were fundamentally atheistic with no religious beliefs whatever? Can't you and John Lennon imagine all the people...living for today?
Wait a minute! I don't have to imagine a society with no religion. Several such societies have actually existed in our world. So, imagine with me, if you would, the following countries with no nasty, ugly religion to get in the way. Countries like:
Russia:
Kinda makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside doesn't it?

The atheistic, anti-religious Reign of Terror in France killed somewhere between 16,000 and 40,000 people in the course of about 10 months.
