In a personal level - no idea. Pero kung titingnan natin ang mga bansa, generally those countries na generally madami atheist, ay mas maunlad, mas disiplinado, mas mababa crime rate, etc...

Sources please?

Christians on a Murderous campaign called the Crusades

This kind of PRIMITIVE thinking that "my God is the True God" has brought Death and Suffering to Millions of people throughout history

Samcoy, I think it is you who needs to study the bible more.

made a quick search for sources though:

A correlation between poverty and religiosity « Why Evolution Is True
Societies worse off 'when they have God on their side' - Times Online

It's important to take note that the question of this thread is highly subjective.

RELIGIOUS belief can cause damage to a society, contributing towards high murder rates, abortion, ***ual promiscuity and suicide, according to research published today.

According to the study, belief in and worship of God are not only unnecessary for a healthy society but may actually contribute to social problems.

The study counters the view of believers that religion is necessary to provide the moral and ethical foundations of a healthy society.

LOL - why would I want to "bash you with all my might"? People do get defensive on these forums

I'm not going to dictate what you should believe - beliefs should be a personal choice, arrived at through personal thought, personal reflection and personal understanding; otherwise you take away from the beauty of choice, reason, and free will.

Interesting chart - it's funny, if I had participated in the survey, I'd most likely answer that religion was not an important part of my daily life.
