road to nowhere
Human nature will find a way to have conflicts. Controlling personalities, greed, nationalities, race, tribes, intellectualism e. We all believe something whether we call it religious or something else.
Human nature’s primary objective is to SURVIVE. It does this by adapting to its environment. It will do whatever it takes to survive and pass on its genes.
“Humans” are hardwired to AVOID DEATH. This is natural as “REALITY” without being tarnished by “Religious Ideas” -------shows without a doubt that This Is the Only Life We Get.
Nationalities, race, tribes, intellectualism, etc. will engage in war. But why?
Because today-- all tribes, nationalities, race, ect., are driven to put their life on the line because Religion has sullied their reality of Truth----which is that we only have ONE LIFE----AND THERE IS NO OTHER.
Religion today has manipulated the MINDS of humans with its promises of a second chance, an afterlife, a promise that death is not the end game.
Leaders of tribes or Politicians of nations, use this manipulation of an afterlife to convince its citizens or nations or tribes, or races, that if they fight their wars, God will reward them with an afterlife, whether in heaven, earth, or some form of reincarnation.
But now, take out the (“Second Chance, the Afterlife, the Reward after death” out of the picture)
Then with this knowledge of reality, how many citizens would obey the politicians to go fight their war if there is no Heaven? How many tribesmen would listen to the Elder tribe leader if he ordered them to a deadly war, especially if they all knew Death ended everything? I assume they would kill the Elder tribe leader first instead of putting their ONLY LIFE on the line.
To show how powerful Religious Ideas are and their effects on unnecessary death, consider, how many Jehovah Witnesses would continue to obey the Organization’s mandates if they all knew there was no such thing a resurrection into a paradise earth!----ZERO! Imagine the millions of blood related deaths and broken families that would be eliminated! Imagine if Muslims found out Allah doesn’t exist. Or what would Christians do if the President gave an executive order for all young men to go fight a deadly conflict -----for GOD, and COUNTRY, if they knew there was no such thing as a heavenly life.
Yes humans would still fight and kill, but I would say that ETERNAL DEATH IS A VERY STRONG MOTIVATOR To avoid conflict to begin with.
"Religion is the opium of the people" meaning that religions offer a better alternative to our current life.
The only problem is that the better alternative only comes AFTER WE DIE, thus paving the way for greedy, power-hungry power to convince the masses to go fight their wars.

Don't be absurd. Humans would always be disposed to conflict. If you think otherwise, you're as naive as John Lennon.
Did you read the post? Or do you have difficulty reading?
I said, quote; "Yes we would still have fights, famine, murder and more, but ….."
My post was not about “Humans always disposed to conflict”
