re: Do you feel religion is part of the worlds downfall

Nah I see it differently.
Human devotion to religion is at the lowest point in history. Religious tolerance is at the highest point. Doesn’t say a great deal about the current world but I’d much rather this over any previous time periods. If you look at the religious wars and death toll over the course of human history, it’s getting better & better, not worse and worse.
Also religion is responsible for a lot of good. Pretty much every far Eastern religion and most from the West bring out the best in people. Value of life, respect of nature, protection of innocence, etc.
Not a fan of Islam though. I 100% believe that Islam will make the greatest contribution to the end of the world.

Knowledge this wisdom, this goes back when I was 12
I loved doing right but I was trapped in Hell
Had mad ideas, sad eyes and tears
Years of fears, but yo my foes couldn't bear
I searched for the truth since my youth
And went to church since birth, but it wasn't worth the loot
That I was paying, plus the praying
I didn't like staying 'cause of busy-bodies and dizzy hotties
That the preacher had souped up with lies
Had me cooped up lookin at loot, butt and thighs
During the service, he swallowed up the poor
And after they heard this, they wallowed on the floor
But I ignored and explored my history that was untold
And watched mysteries unfold
And dropped a jewel like Solomon, but never followed men
'Cause if you do your brain is more hollow than
Space oblivia or the abyss
With no trace of trivia left with the hiss
Does it pay to be deaf, dumb and blind?
From a slave we was kept from the mind
And from the caves he crept from behind
And what he gave was the sect of the swine
When the bible, it condemns the pig
I don't mean to pull your hems or flip your wigs
But we used to wear a turban, but now we're in the urban
No more wearing beanies and dress like the genie
No hocus pocus 'cause I focus on the facts
And put it on the tracks, embroid it through the wax
I speak on Jacob, it might take up some time
And too much knowledge, it might break up the rhyme
I did it anyway just to wake up the mind
Of those who kiss stones or prays on the carpet
Those who sit home or sell books by the market
Need to chill and get their mind revived
For years religion did nothing but divide

Lack of faith and people not going to church has destroyed this great nation

For non-believers it's got to be the most puzzling thing of all time to see so many people at this point in civilization professing to believe in the supernatural aspects of the bible.
I ponder on it almost daily. How many actually believe vs the percentage that are just faking it for a variety of reasons from business concerns, to peer pressure, wife pressure, and just the ones that have the ability to brainwash themselves out of extreme fear and anxiety of the unknown.

It has actually killed people.
Please expand your thoughts.
What were the religions of Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot, and Mao?
What does the term Christian mean to you? Please give a book and verse where Jesus told his disciples to kill or harm someone.
If a nut declares that he is a Christian, he should try to emulate Christ, not some mentally ill individual who uses religion as an excuse for their aberrant behavior.

I think most religions are actually not that violent and rather peaceful but those people in the Middle East are just absolute nuts and everything they do is for their religion, whether it’s killing people or going to war with each other
