The following is a post I was going to make on this thread, but it kinda deviated away from the subject.

If there was only one religion, it would just eliminate the agnostics, but put anti-whatever that religion is-ians/ists/etc. in it's place. And if we had proof of that religion, the atheists would just be replaced with more conspiracists.

Proof or not, the question of whether the god (assuming it's a theistic religion) is a force for good or a wolf in sheep's clothing would remain. You probably don't really understand what I mean.

Take christianity for example (or any of the abrahamic religions), Christians just assume that god created them, is the supreme being, and thus must be good. Saying was correct, there's nothing to say that the good and evil roles of God and The Devil aren't switched. On one side of the line lies Peace, order and civility, but also, slavery and oppression. On the other side, lies disorder, chaos, and crime, but also freedom and choice. There's nothing to say that God is the dark jail-keeper keeping us in mental isolation whereas Lucifer is intent on setting us free, and God wrote the bible to hide this from us. Please note that I'm not particularly religious before you send me PMs telling me to repent or something like that, i just want to wait til i die before i see. Christianity does present a good example for this actually, because there are various point in this bible where it could be hinting towards the idea I've already explained, for example, "Lucifer" (another name for Satan) is means "The Light", ie the Light in the Darkness. or God didn't want Adam or Eve to eat from the apple tree, where the apple is the fruit of knowledge and a greatly held symbol for knowledge, for fear that we'd figure things out and work against him.

Please note i don't actually have any religious preferences and I don't really care one way or another for any particular religion.
