A world finally free from religion

Why would anyone in his sane mind try to revive religion or any kind of thougtless and insane mindvirus like religion after the absolutely awfully bad track-record of previous times=

It's like, please, our old world destroyed us, please bring it back and make it even worse.

That's a bad premise of a movie, and I hated every single second of it.
Think Denzel is a good actor, sorry though that he chose to participate in this atrocity of a movie.

Its plainly bad for anyone, religious or not.

A world finally free from religion

Yup, and the movie shows us preying upon one another like savage animals more than ever.

Hahaha!! Once it was revealed that the book was actually bible, I laughed my ass off thinking of all the atheists that would be triggered by this movie. Looking at this board, I was so right.

Hey, I don't believe in bible either, but I don't get angsty each time a bible appears in a movie. You atheists are so insecure.

Probably because religion has brought more stability, compassion, morality, and enlightenment to the world than any other factor.

The great enlightenment in Europe was largely brought by the monks which spuured the scientific growth we see today.

Conversely, the nations free from religion have led to more suffering and deaths many times over than all the religious persecutions combined. Even today the more secular nations have a higher kill rate of human beings than even the most rigid theocratic nations.

Statistically, people of faith are happier, live longer, less emotional problems, give more to charity, etc. In short, they are better people.

Well, if there is no religion, then they wouldn't know how good/bad it is. You could say everything will happen all over again.
