if religion didn't exist
would people blow themselves up
would wars still happen
would we just find another excuse to throw hands

It cannot not exist. It's in a human nature to search for a "leader" and "calmness" when feeling weak/hopeless. It's a drug/alcohol substitute.

Sure, religion didn't exist for the ancient greeks. All they did was invent certain mathematics, science, Architecture etc... Religion came around and destroyed it all. If anything Religion is more conducive to violence than no religion.

that's my take
religion is used to control and programme a certain way of thinking
it leads to intolerance then to violence
humans aren't conditioned to use religion in a productive way
its a giant stick to beat people with either mentally or physically

Exactly. It's a form of social control. A set of rules you should live by and the consequences of not following those rules.

TA is a flaming atheist.
I would love to slowly lower Navy_Mike into boiling water and then throw in a plugged toaster oven for good measure.
Anything to wipe that stupid grin/wide mouth off the face of the earth.

Do you believe religion is why people don't kill each other? Highly doubtful. It's the law that prevents it. Remove all Laws and leave religion and totally chaos will erupt. Religion won't stop people from hurting others.

Religion and god gives a "purpose" a "meaning" to life. Without it you have.........well current western world, that doesn't want to reproduce anymore (because it makes no sense, there's no god and other bullshit) and doesn't care about anything too much (because.... why?)

you've converted me my friend
im off to church
Hallelujah
Now repeat this with me
Now I lay me
Down to sleep.
I pray the Lord
My shape to keep.
Please no wrinkles
Please no bags
And please lift my backside
Before it sags.
Please no age spots
Please no gray
And as for my belly,
Please take it away.
Please keep me healthy
Please keep me young,
And thank you Dear Lord
For all that you've done
AMEN

People would still find plenty of reasons to kill each other as they do now that are not religiously motivated. The essence of religion is the spiritual part which is without a doubt an uplifting influence. The rest can be discarded moving forward.

Fucking Che!! LOL ;D

WW1 and WW2 had no religious causes but a combination of nationalism, imperalism and conflict of political ideologie.etc
We're good at finding 1001 reasons to eliminate each other. When this Muslim vs Western world feud ends a new one will emerge, either within or in a new form of foreign adversary.

This.
Homo sapiens is good at exactly two things: fucking and killing. Religion is just one of many thin excuses to do one or the other (or both).
-
no without religion there would be no wars, free steroids and everybody would engage in a worldwide posedown at the top of a rainbow
next question
-
Religion or lack there of does not start wars.
People do.
If there was no religion, people would just find another reason to kill each other.
Wars will always happen.

Religion did exist in ancient Greece.
-
Many of the ancient Greek people recognized the major (Olympian) gods and goddesses (Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Apollo, Artemis, Aphrodite, Ares, Dionysus, Hephaestus, Athena, Hermes, Demeter, Hestia, and Hera), although philosophies such as Stoicism and some forms of Platonism used language that seems to posit a transcendent single deity.
Different cities often worshiped the same deities, sometimes with epithets that distinguished them and specified their local nature.
Zeus, the controller of thunder and lightning, aka the Ancient Marty Champions.
