    Have ever straight up outlawed religion? All the evils seem to be one religion imposing it’s might on another.

    The worst thing we got from ignoring religion outright was modern science.

      Yes many countries have tried in the past. Communist countries, USSR and the Khmer Rouge.

      If religion disappeared overnight, extremism and violence would still exist. Humans are tribal superstitious people. If mankind has massive physical brawls over sports teams then they’ll find something new to fight over even if it wasn’t religion.
