World without religion?!?!?

There will never be no religion, though I suppose its fun to speculate about it. It's in our human nature to be spiritual (eventually for all the athiests out there). There is without a doubt that some day in peoples lives, will experience what those have experiences paranormally. Religion is a concept that binds our spirituality to percieve the best interest amung peoples beliefs. It is a guide, a tool, to the afterlife wether you don't have a religion or do - we will all at some inevitable point - experience. Take it or leave it (Religion that is).

Religion (IMO) is like training wheels for the spiritual soul. Just as you once took the training wheels off your bike, you will someday remove the training wheels that is religion.

That's a great analogy. You basically said what I was trying to say, but in fewer words.

I used to be VERY religious. In the process of trying to learn more, I converted myself away (something I never thought possible). The training wheels are off now.
