You think religion is the only reason people hate each other? The only reason people have ever been dicks?
Your focus is too narrow. I can guarantee you that 99.99% of the shit in this world would remain in place. Only the justifications would change.
Oppression of x race? Evolution and Social Darwinism.
Oppression of X orientation? Eugenics and the continuation of biologically viable pairings.
Rape? Abuse? Murder... oh wait, these things happen right now every day with no religious pretense all the goddamn time.
And I hate to steal from south park, but we'd have factions warring over who had the "right" interpretation of science. Not to mention the inevitable advent of state/national religion: the worship of the unified peoples themselves.
You found an easy face. And it's not a false one, but you look at a label when the real cause of everything is our flawed nature. We are every bit the murderous little monkeys we started as, sentience just let us make up fancy new names and reason out reason for why we do what we do.

Yeah no shit people can find other reasons, that doesn't stop the tremendously complex social zeitgeist that is the world of human experience and interaction being affected negatively by religion. And it doesn't mean that an elimination of 'magical thinking', wouldn't make the world a better place.
But to suggest that no one would ever change well,
a) what are you even doing arguing, everything is entirely unaffectable, you are committing an entirely pointless act by committing your sound and thunder to paper.
b) that is some top level misanthropy, and quite clearly not true.

I never said change was impossible. Though it sure as hell wouldn't be easy and I doubt would ever be perfect.
And the Anon I responded to did rather strongly insinuate that religious belief was the problem, yes. not organized religions, or a particular religion, but religious belief itself.

And people are intensely malleable, look at how we've changed in every measurable way since even five hundred years ago?
