Religious Destruction

Another million dollar question-- does religion cause war, violence, depression, and negative affects upon world-wide social interactions and unity?

Take a peek at these articles and video:

As humans, we are only guaranteed one thing in our unclear future: death. Other than that, nothing, and I repeat nothing, can be guaranteed truthful in occurrence. Many believe that their cause of death will be just this: religion.

This topic is quite extensive. And I am limited in my resources, mentally, to fully comprehend the negative affects of religion.

According the Bible's final book in the New Testament, one belief upon an ending of death could be based off of the book of Revelation--translated into an "apokalypsis". If you care to investigate:

But I'm not here to discuss whether we will die due to this belief...that's another discussion.

I'm here to discuss how religion will affect our religion generations, negatively...and positively. And even, how will religion change in the future?

"How should one define the legitimate reach of individuals' institutional obligations in the light of their right to freedom of religion? The most divisive settings for this question involve exclusions from certain jobs and schools. At the same time, some fundamental issues of ethics and law lie in the background. One of the most central concerns choice. On one approach, if there are other sources of work or education that do not make the same demands on the objector then she should choose between conforming and taking up that alternative. On another approach, even if there are such alternatives, people should not be confronted with such a dilemma: they should be entitled to stay in their preferred institution, which must make its best effort to accommodate them. The conflict between these two views arises from underlying differences concerning the nature of free choice itself; about the obligations borne by institutions in civil society; and about basic rights. The connections between these notions are investigated, and a way through the disagreement is suggested" (Leader ABSTRACT).

I, nor any other human, can predict the future. But we ALL know that religion will somehow play a key role in it--negatively and positively.  Do you agree? How will America's future generations be affected by religion?
