While I don't think there will be absolute world peace if you eliminated religion, I suspect that a lot of the ugliness between many countries would disappear. India and Pakistan, Israel and Palestine, Ireland and England; maybe they would manage to find other things to fight about, but then again, maybe not.

One problem I have with Atheists is that they go and say religions make no sense and religious people do not think, and then they turn around and do not think themselves. It is popular to give religion the blame for every war. However think for a moment, do you really think for example with the unrest in the Middle East that religion have anything to do with it? Religion is the banner, it is the rallying point, however the reason for the war is two peoples both wanting the same piece of land.

If you look at religious wars from the Crusades to the present you see the same. Religion is the rallying point, and allot of shit have been done in the name of religion to be sure, however to think that the wars will all go away if there where no religion is naive. Religion is not the cause of these wars, various far more practical reasons are, social injustice, greed, the desire for power and so on and so on. If there where no religion the wars would still be fought, just under new banners. Just look at various Communist nations where religion is often forbidden, the same shit, the same wars just a new banner. Religion is not the big bad, people are.
