Humans can't exist without wars. They will always find a reason to fight.

(And just in case you're wondering, I'm a platypus.)

Only one religion would need to be evaporated to achieve that and that would be Islam. They're the ones causing all the crap in the world.

I'm thinkin' probably the same as there are now. Religion or no, human nature doesn't change.

Islam was isolated for a long time from the rest of the world. They mainly fought other Muslims. I'd have to say Christianity is responsible for most wars. The Crusades, other wars that were fought trying to turn pagans into Christians, The Inquisition which although it wasnt a war killed a lot of smart people, you could even say colonization was done to convert people although it was mainly for economic exploitation.

They will until the contest involves the leaders who wage wars.

um, you do understand that the "crusades" were a responsive action to Muslim invasion, right?

Dig in the present where you can smell the grass and see the light. This is by far one of the best religious information websites on the WWW, and should be bookmarked.

ReligiousTolerance.org by the Ontario Consultants on Religious Tolerance

Conflicts in: Nazareth in Israel,
Kashmir,
Nigeria,
Philippines,
Yugoslavia-Kosovo,
Yugoslavia-Vojvodia

There are many more, mainly between christians & muslims squaring off. S the answer would be, no religion, fewer wars. IMO

Oh yeah, The Crusades! I just read something in newspaper about them suicide bombing school buses and hijacking airplanes just as resiliently as 1,600 years ago. Maybe we should worry about them first and then the Muslims.

I am thinking you are off by about 50. There is a major war occuring right now in Mexico that has nothing to do with religion, unless you think dealing drugs is a religion.

It is amazing how willing people are to tout their ignorance as expertise. Tell you what, here is a partial list of wars throughout history, why don't you go through it, count all the wars, and then count the ones actually started by Christians.

Lists of wars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Please note that any responsible definition of Christians does not include governments, and that includes the Holy Roman Empire. I could make the case that it also includes the Roman Catholic Church, since that is essentially a government, but I am willing to concede that those wars should be counted.

First? Religion isn't going away...Second? I don't like hypotheticals...so my comments are what they are in this thread, and this is the last one I will make on this topic.

 

[washamericom]

this is a trick question. there would be one war followed by five hundred years of a nukular cloud then eventual human parity, you know, when population isn't the biggest problem anymore.
