If you could rid the world of one thing, what would it be?

I've thought a few hours on what you said here. My first instinct was to of course agree with you (and i do, agree with you), but then to reiterate my stance wasn't that religion is the only bad or the biggest bad, but that the sum of its parts historically, and in the present, not just in regards to major corruption and persecution, but also in seemingly benign ways like teaching non science based ideas as fact, that the sum of its parts over time would in my opinion be better off without, i realize how right you are and i, when the two are married together. Religion without power is ultimately a great inward thing that has orofound positive spiritual influence in weird and wonderful ways. But, you pair religious ideology with power, this has almost universally been bad news
