Imagine a world without organised religion, where it doesn’t affect people’s lives, but atheism still exists. What purpose would atheism fill in this scenario?

    Imagine a world without organised religion, where it doesn’t affect people’s lives, but atheism still exists.

    A near perfect utopia where there isn’t fighting over dumbass fake shit where humanity works together to better itself because there is no person who believes in a god, and nothing beyond this one life so we actually are much more motivated to make it better?

    There is no purpose to atheism. It’s simply a lack of a belief in a god. 🤦‍♂️

      You highly overestimate human nature.

      Remember, WWI and WWII and Vietnam and a bunch of other modern wars weren’t really fought over religion.
