If organised religion never existed, would society be more, less or equally corrupt?

Question

🌍🌏🌎
This is not a debate about religious beliefs specifically.

Accepted Answer

I suspect equally corrupt. 
Religion can be a good justification/outlet for humanities fuckery, but it doesn’t cause it. If it weren’t religion it would be something else.

Answer

If people wanna be corrupt they’re gonna be corrupt, religious or not 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

Religion is a scape goat. People would still have had wars and genocides etc even without it, they just would’ve found a different excuse for it.

Answer

The sane, maybe more.  Its the love of money and power that corrupts.  Organized religion does not create that desire ... however it may influence a few to not go down that path ... so without the influence maybe more people would get sucked into the pursuit of power and a deep lust for money.

Answer

I think it'd be less because of the whole religion doesn't accept some people and I think religion gets too involved with the government (especially in America) and we have some laws or don't have laws because of religion which makes society worse. It could probably be more in some aspects though just can't think of any at the moment

Answer

I think it would be the same. I don’t think it’s really region that is making things corrupt or not corrupt. I think it is humankind and not accepting people that makes it corrupt. 
Religion does divide people, but it’s only because people want to divide. We need to realize we are all the same and need to unite as one and accept all religions and not have one be dominate over the other. 
In history Christianity took over many and killed others that weren’t the same as them. That to me is corrupt and is because of a religion. If we didn’t have Christianity, maybe things would have been different. Who knows though.

Answer

I don't think religion really effects people's morals. I'm pretty sure most of us knew it was bad to murder people & Steal way before we were introduced to religion

Answer

I think any group of people that live by certain beliefs/standards places judgement and resentment on those that do not agree with their beliefs. Therefore, I do think organized religion does produce more corruption. It seems like you always hear about a pastor being arrested for some sort of embezzlement or a Catholic priest arrested for raping little boys. All while preaching and condemning others. It’s sick. If the world lacked organized religion, people might actually try to be good people and not think they have it all figured out.

Answer

A better question would be if extremist groups never existed would our world be better off. Organized religion has no effect on how our world is run

Answer

I honestly think it would be less.
