Would The World Be Better Without Religion???

Religion has existed as long as humans have really. I can't think of a time historically documented that doesn't have religion.

That's true on the account that you can't get everyone to believe the same thing. It's not that the world would be better without religion, it's that it's impossible to have a world without religion. Like in the South Park eps "Go God Go" 1 and 2 (sorry for the crude example XD), even if everyone belonged to the same religion, all the problems would still exist.

Concerning the Roman Catholic "Apostolical" Church:

Do we have any evidence that great crimes or evils have been perpetrated by the Roman Catholic Church? Not by a Catholic, not by a Bishop, not in the "name" of the Church, or in the "name" of Christ, but by the Roman Catholic Church as a institution?

Obviously many will want to answer "yes". But can you cite sources? "Everyone knows...", or "Its common knowledge" will not be a good response. Which historical book do you cite as your historic evidence?

Have you read the book itself? Have you only read books "about" the book?

I would like to know your source for morality being established long before writing.

Is it something you accept on faith? Perhaps faith that human nature as it is now, is as it was long ago? and therefore because morality exists now, it would also exist before writing? Which of course would mean you have inferred morality to exist before writing.

Is is "simply logical" to assume it to be so? What is the logic? What is the cause that would provide the logical effect of morality? Is it "simply rational" to assume it to be so? What is the reason? Rational presupposes a "knowable" link between cause and effect. So what is your cause and how does it relate to the effect of morality?

Or do you have some evidence?
