Yes, I know You're entire argument is based on the idea that the God we have is not real, ergo, nothing would change. But that is faulty, if you remove God, you equally so have to remove religion and it's lasting and vast influences in our lives, and replace it with, well, something else.
No, that would be an atheist. I believe that God's reality doesn't matter. I have no reason to argue God exists or doesn't exist, so consider me a hardline agnostic/skeptic. Things change anyway. Things are unpredictable in my worldview and I don't pretend to be able to predict history in any sense outside of historical fiction, so I don't see where you get any evidence or authority to back up this ludicrous claim. Why do you care if I don't care either way about God except that you think I've damned myself to hell regardless?
Atheism isn't a belief system, it's a single belief or lack thereof that God is nonexistent. There would be so many fragmentations that with enough consideration I could group them up for you and then you can speculate your dystopian fantasies from there. Honestly, it's not as if every human is so twisted that they need to be afraid of a God or laws to behave ethically, however pessimistic and anti-humanist your stance is on that.So. If I was to replace everyone that believes in God, and follows religion with, say, Atheism. how would the world change?
Then we'd be in Plato's ideal heaven with the forms and such, I imagine, though I can't imagine, since we haven't even confronted the issue of what counts as "spiritual" yet.What is everyone was just "Spiritual"
What if everyone belied as you believe (minus the religious influences)
Then the world would be boring and I'd rather not live in that world for that reason alone.
I wonder how drastic this would change things, perhaps you can tell me.
I gave you separate answers for each and at least 2 of them are unappealing, particularly if everyone was spiritual in your sense or if everyone believed as me, which would both be terribly boring, though for different reasons.
