Although I'm definitely not arguing with that, I think the point was to not take away faith, but the structures that it currently uses.
I'm probably wrong, but that's how I interpreted it...
I agree, though. As fascinating and appealing as the idea is, it's all theoretical. Plus of course there's the point that it's not religion that starts wars so much as overzealous fanatics who do; and I'm sure you'll get those whether there's structured religion or not. Can't get rid of crazy people!

I agree with franposis on this one, crazy people are always going to be there. Religion is just a shield they can hide behind to justify their questionable actions, when something is done "in the name of God" they believe it's ok to slaughter thousands in war. Personally I can't believe that God would wish slaughter on anyone seeing as he is omnibenevolent. Religion can be a very good thing but also a very bad thing. Sadly there's no getting out of it for us since religion can never truly be abolished, people just need to coincide with each other and respect each others beliefs.
Like that'll ever happen -sighs-
Jam it back in, in the dark.
