Won't in the slightest. You're blaming a book for human nature.
The crusades, the holocaust, the Spanish inquisition, the Salem witch trials, and the Muslim terrorists just to name a few
So Muslim terrorists are basing their actions on the Christian Bible...
The Christian Bible also contains the Hebrew Bible, which without there would be no Islam

This [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/profiles/view] person. What a thorn on my side.
I'm ashamed to say my heart jumped for a second before I realised what you'd done. Well played.

I would choose... hatred. I would get rid of all hatred from everyone who'd ever lived. Bitterness, envy, sorrow, despair, passion, rage - they'd all still be around. But nothing so focused or burning as hatred.

Also, as someone told you earlier, atrocities are committed by people. Without religion, this wouldn't change.

Blaming a book is just taking the blame off of the individual.

EDIT: Also, the Holocaust was motivated by a flawed understanding of science, where people considered those of non-white heritage to be less evolved, and sub human.

If you look I never said that it would stop war I said it would prevent a lot of wars, and the people in charge tend to get their followers to do their atrocities for them, and the best way to get people to do these things is, surprise surprise, religion. You can't get the right people to do anything if you tell them "God" wants it done. With out God it would be hard for leaders to find the proper motivation to convince their followers to commit these acts

Even if I agreed with you (there's plenty of other ways that people would use to manipulate others), you also realize that there's a ton of other religions other than the Abrahamic ones, right?
