Religion is man-made. Getting rid of it will not stop the excesses committed in its name; people will just find other excuses for them.

I think it's of note that there are many extreme rightists who view progressive thought as an outgrowth of Christianity, which they characterize as weak and "globalist" and a bastion of "slave morality." They blame it for social justice, for DEI, for mass immigration, etc, and think its demise would help bring about their kind of world.

Oh, I'm not saying organized religion going away would make the world a utopia, but it would certainly HELP.

That is...an extremely warped and creepy way of thinking.

da and yeah, there's really no need for religion in this day and age. It made sense back in the days before we had science and understood why things like droughts happened, but those things aren't mysteries anymore. It's not some deity causing a drought because we made them mad, it's a weather pattern that can be tracked and understood. We don't need some made-up way to explain natural phenomenon now.

That misses a big part of religion's function, which is to provide answers to various existential and social questions: why am I here? What purpose does my life serve? What group should I belong to? How should I conduct myself with people within my group? How should I conduct myself with people outside my group? Explanations for natural phenomena are really sort of ancillary.

Since the above are questions that people will always ask and that science can't answer, there will likely always be a "religious" impulse that gets expressed in a variety of ways.
