B3TA fixes the world
Moon Monkey says: Turn into Jeremy Clarkson for a moment, and tell us about the things that are so obviously wrong with the world, and how they should be fixed. Extra points for ludicrous over-simplification, blatant mis-representation, and humourous knob-gags.

I don't like religion either - in fact I'd class religious belief as a type of mental illness.
However, if by some magic wand we removed all religion from the world tomorrow, people would simply find some other way to divide themselves into "us" and "them" - what football team they supported, what they ate for breakfast, the colour of their eyes, whether they wore hats or not... Summarised perfectly by Swift in the war between the Big-Endians and Little-Endians.
Sadly, tribalism seems to be wired into us. And them.

sadly i agree
maybe we could just get them to tone it down a bit, seeing as religion hasn't got the place in the world it once had?
something like the american military's (now defunct) don't ask don't tell rule?
