I've noticed that many on here are atheists, and the title of this thread tells what I'm wondering. I realize I'm catering to the right here more, which will probably mean that the fall of religion will win.

Religion: Causes problems with science and logical thinking, promotes stupid values, contaminates politics, and caues massive conflicts and terrorism across the world. Not too mention those bizarre, brainwashing cults.

Communism/Statism/Socialism: Worship of the State. The Cold War is over, but the larger struggle between capitalism and socialism hasn't quite ended yet. I can only hope that China turns even more capitalist, and that socialism never claims its biggest fish, the United States of America. For those of us who work(the middle-class) our way through life, the advent of socialism is a terrible thing. It is way to idealistic and illogical, and it would be nice to have it finally buried. Promotes fascism in that a strong enforcement and huge infrastructure is needed to balance everything out, and that ends up leaving the governments with too much abusive power. One good side-effect is that it substitutes God for the state, though, and promotes atheism. :rolleyes:

Definately the idear of a god, but religion is okay,....

You can be a fairly religious fella without resorting to a god,...no?

Not quite sure what you are asking. Will we see the end of religion or communism first? If that's what you're asking, then I would say communism, since nobody has been able to get it right yet anyway, and nobody will get it right in the future. Communism will not have a legitimate chance for success unless a few people survive armageddon, and regroup into small hunter/gather societies. On the other hand, religion has been around since the first civilizations sprang up and will likely be around until the end of man. It has become a powerful crutch because it gives hope to the hopeless, a chance for something better in a next life. That's a powerful selling point for the masses.

I think saying religion (Mass terminology), promotes stupid values is a bit harsh.
I think it tries to promote a sense and way of acting that benefits everyone in its on simplified, Ideal world kinda way ^_^
I used to be very religious (Christian) but now i'm more of an Atheist who belives in something more and certainly know that my faith when i was young is the only reason i didn't go mad and jump out a window (Sorry you lot better luck next time but i'm still here ta bug ya =P)
