People always look to some higher power to guide them. I'm sure they'd find some alternative to religion that's just as harmful.

I know cancer isn't just one thing, but if you could put an end to the different kinds of cancers that hurt and kill people, I'd go with that option.

I'm not a fan of racism or religion (the major ones, at least), but I'd still go with cancer.

Noticing 0 votes for depression. I think a lot of people resort to religion and violence and other unhealthy aspects of life because of it. Depression could be a big contender I think.

Cancer and depression are my #1 and 2. I chose cancer because of how much immediate, and potential long term health gain it brings. It would probably instantly bump life expectancy by 10 years or more in developed nations, and it would take a massive burden off the healthcare system.

The problem is that a lot of people just use religion as an excuse for their hate. Get rid of religion, instead of assholes in front of a church waving signs that say "God hates f**s", you'll have assholes standing in front of their house waving signs that say "I hate f**s".

It'll get rid of the ignorant followers for sure, but getting rid of something like cancer or racism will help out more. Especially since religion has its positive points, unlike the latter two.

People have been saved by cancer, so "saving lives" is something that both religion and cancer share.

Cancer is a disease we might make some more headway against without wasting so much time arguing over/being stalemated by religious matters. A lot of racists would also lose their big justification for what they do and it'd be harder to indoctrinate upcoming generations without the looming threat of hell and sin and all that.
You have to wonder what'd happen if the middle east stopped fighting, shook hands and started plugging away at real issues overnight too.
How is religion interfering with cancer research?

What makes you think that shitty people wont find another scapegoat to justify their racist behaviors?

If you think religion is the reason behind todays conflict in the Middle East, then you need to study up on world history (hint: they dont teach this topic in western schools).

Is it more than the leading cause of death in the world at 10 million in 2020?

Cancer.

Racism can be erased, or at least the impact of it reduced, without the need for any kind of magical deals. Religion is dying out anyway, chances are it'll be almost unheard of in a few centuries at worst. Depression isn't going anywhere, but there has been far more success in managing it than there has been for cancer, so it's the lesser of the two remaining evils.

How many people die in the name of Islam? Eliminate Sharia law alone and so many women are free from their practices. They kill in the name of their god, infidels or whatever. Brutally also.

You have a very valid point there though, I believe people capable of killing do not because of religion, ending religion may change them. The scale isn't relevant though.

I think it would help racism, not end it. I also feel like it would be a tremendous leap for the gay/trans community who are constantly harassed and stomped down by religious laws.

In your first post, you went full Twitch chat. "Edgy" which is basically "Grr I don't agree GRRR" in four letter form. Called it a "Bandwagon" like they're just trying to be hip, called everyone closeted losers, lmfao's like a verbal tick for meme drones. You forgot the bit about the fedora though. I thought the fedora was the go-to response honestly.

I think "They'll find another justification, so let's let them keep their current one, irrespective of everything else negative it's done beyond serving as a justification" is silly and that you aren't saying anything in good faith.

Eh, while I don't agree with it, there are definitely valid reasons why one might vote for depression instead. At a stretch, maybe racism too, though that one's getting into hard to justify territory (to be clear, I'm specifically meaning in the context of compared to other options that are available here, and it would be different in a case where it's just "erase racism, yes or no?").

Guess it depends on if you believe the harm caused by religion outweighs the positive it has done. And then you have to debate if religion even with the positive is worse then the other options.

I think its because the only exposure some people have to religion is what they read in news articles that are negative pieces. They dont know about how church communities will volunteer in soup kitchens, donate to the poor, do community service projects like cleaning up trash or planting trees/flowers. Or how going to church or practicing their religion can give someone the will to keep living strong and not give up. Simply being involved in a extracurricular activity such as choir can enrich someones life.

Cancer is a tough issue for me, my mum was diagnosed 5 years ago, given 1-5 years but I'll never forget that day. She's in remission and she seems alright at the minute.

I also feel for the parents of children who have cancer, it's heart-breaking hearing the stories of kids who don't get to grow up. So for that I'd have to choose Cancer.

I guess my thing is that religion has always been used as the justification to do shitty things but it's not really the actual "cause" in most scenarios, you know?

Like yeah, I get that anti-LGBT/abortion rights are deeply rooted in religious zealotry, but we've also seen the Christian right go directly against the teachings of the Bible if it allows them to be shitty people. So I don't have confidence that bigotry will just go away in the absence of religion.

It's also worth noting that the Abrahamic religions are not the only religions in the world and many are perfectly benign.

TIL there are no atheist/agnostic racists and all the extremists patriots, nationalists, and tribal tankies are just following one god or other. Is every guy with fragile masculinity religious as well, or are there non-religious homophobes?
