A country without Muslims. I had no idea!

[psychoslice]

What exactly do you see as taking its place?

Personally, even leaving aside how difficult it is to agree on an understanding of what religion is and what it is not, it seems to me that there is just too much of a religious tendency in humanity for its absence not to be part of a major change in society.

So when people talk about a world without it, I can only assume that they mean a substantially different world. One that would probably leave aside concepts of nationality as well, for instance. At this point we are entering firmly into the realms of speculative fiction, and not a particularly realistic variety of it.

What would make a world without religion possible exactly? There are many possible scenarions, not all of them desirable, not many realistically possible.

I think a world without religion would be a simple world, and world where we all live for today, not investing in the future or the so called after life. We would be fascinated with our universe, and we would realize that we are part of the universe, no need to call it god or worship it, for we would also be worshipping ourselves. Also because we don't have a belief of an after life we would all be enjoying the one we have now, we wouldn't be wasting it, and killing others believing we are going to go to another life, it just wouldn't happen.

Whatever you call religion, Psychoslice, I would not.

As I said, if we do away with religion, new ideologies will take its place.
And there is no guarantees or promises that things will be simpler and less violent. Rather, actually, they probably won't be. We're still a long ways off from reaching that point.

Well that's up to you, I see it different than you, who is right or wrong doesn't matter, after all we are all ONE, religion only divides us, get it ?.

Yes new ways of thinking will develop, but how do you know they will be worse than the religious crap that we have been putting up with for thousands of years, so many now are waking up and seeing that religion has kept us in its filthy prison. We all need to mature and grow up, and leave behind all this crap, all these stupid toys that we have been playing with and causing so much misery. Yes, this is my religion that you cannot except.

Actually it matters quite a lot, as should be clear.

There is nationalism, which can get really ugly. And we have our "house of glass cards" capitalism, which is an accomplice and enabler of severe exploitation, slavery, oppression, and war.

Citizen Warrior: A Country Without Muslims

Japan makes it very difficult for Muslims to enter the country and if Muslims are permitted
to enter they will find it very hard to get a place to live.
Japan is still a very closed society and has no central religion.

"Japan forbids exhorting people to adopt the religion of Islam (Dawah), and any Muslim who actively encourages conversion to Islam is seen as proselytizing to a foreign and undesirable culture."
First, the Japanese tend to lump all Muslims together as fundamentalists who are unwilling to give up their traditional point of view and adopt modern ways of thinking and behavior. In Japan, Islam is perceived as a strange religion that any intelligent person should avoid."

The article is fairly short and rather surprising. Draw your own conclusions but I'd call
Japan a totally racist country. They include almost all non Japanese in this attitude but
are particular about Muslims.

"

I think they see the way Europes going with bombings and street be headings and cartoonist killings and are thinking they don't want any of it. Not all muslims are terrorists but many agree that people who abandon islam should be killed and so forth, Japan is just trying to protect itself bro.

Awesome and informative information that surprises me not one iota.

To those who are chasing something yes, but the actual thing you are chasing is an illusion, be that religion or whatever...........you don't have to chase for anything because you already have it.

Yes and that is why I said we all need to mature, and grow up spiritually, for to be this is to do away with the ego, no ego, now wars, no childish people believing they only have the truth.

You have no idea of what I am talking about, and you don't even notice it.

What people believe in, to which extent it makes sense, and how effectively they communicate it matter. If anything, they matter even more if they are wrong or unnecessary.

That maybe true, but I'm sure you understand what I am say ?.

What I do understand of what you say is nothing new, nor particularly useful. It does hint at running away from relevant matters, truth be told.
