I didn't feel the previous poster's comment warranted a long drawn out answer, where basically he was saying that everything would be better if religion didn't exist etc etc.
Don't think a longer comment would change their mind...When you take out South East Asia (China, Korea, Japan etc), the proportion of religiously unaffiliated people is very small.
Instead of worshipping a god and following a set of rules and a moral code from a holy book, moral values are traditionally derived from ancient philosophers and their books and teachings.
Doesn't mean that China and its neighbours haven't been at pretty much constant war over the past 4000 years...

Flippant comment - what about agnostics?
Very very simplistic - Animals are terrorial and kill each other over land. Religion just justifies it.
As more proof people on here have come to blows from here. Even the jumping on a bandwagon and pick on one person just like children in a school yard.
