Would we be better off without religion

Throughout history, the root cause of many wars has been disagreement over religion. Whole nations throughout the centuries have been torn apart by religious debate and it is still happening now. Millions of deaths could have been prevented in a religion free society. The running theme of the opposing parties seems to be that, without religion, and by proxy God, there would be no morals. This is indicative of the belief of moral absolutism, more popularly known as objective morality. I don't believe that I have to explain how inherently flawed this stance is, but, oh well. Objective morality is false, because not everyone has the same morals.

P opular religious belief is caused by dysfunctional social conditions. This is the conclusion of the latest sociological research pdf conducted by Gregory Paul. Far from religion benefiting societies, as the "moral-creator socioeconomic hypothesis" would have it, popular religion is a psychological mechanism for coping with high levels of stress and anxiety — or so he suggests. I've long been interested in Paul's work because it addresses a whole bunch of fascinating questions — why are Americans so religious when the rest of the developed world is increasingly secular? Is religious belief beneficial to societies?

Or should we concede that overall, it has been a source for good, giving followers purpose, while encouraging morality and ethical behavior?
