A friend in law school engendered much discussion with this proposition:
The world would be a better place if there no religion.
He argued that on balance religion caused more harm and unrest than its absence. At the time I took the view that religion was the opiate of the masses, but that that was a good thing. Now I'm not so sure he didn't have it right.
