There is no problem with the title, it's a proper question. If the question were ''would the world be a better place if everyone was the same religion as you'', everyone would have differing opinions and no progress would be made because everyone looks at the world differently, has different morals and want different things.
Regarding your claim that everyone wants the same things, I just want to say that you are partially wrong. We all have a basic guideline on what we should want for ourselves and the people around us, but this is not fixed. Most people share common desires for health and well-being. However, this does not mean that everyone wants the same thing. Even if people wanted to want well-being, some are being oppressed by their religion and system of beliefs.
One of the worst things religion can do is make people close minded. From a young age, a lot of children are taught that the universe is only 6000 years old and that evolution is a lie. If you start teaching evolution in science without telling students that they're learning about evolution, they'll listen. However, if you break the news to them at the end of the lesson, they will start getting annoyed and rebelling.
Religion also inspires fear. It scares children with the image of hell and overall makes people afraid to do thing that are absolutely normal. The day young-earth creationism comes into the science classroom is the day I give up hope.
One example of the fear point would be found here. Be careful, some slightly graphic images. Also remember that this comic is given to children.
I am probably a good person but I haven't taken the time to fill out my profile, so you'll never know! |
