A:Religion does fill a need in society, bcause it provides comfort for some in time of trouble. Without religion, we would develop other ways of helping those who are grieving, insecure or uncertain. Organised religion also provides an outlet for charitable works, although secular charities are taking on more and more of this role. So, while it can be said that religion can fill a need in society, there are alternatives so that society does not need religion.

What is the benefit of having freedom of religion and what would happen if we didn't have it?

A benefit of having freedom of religion is that people can choose what religion to follow without fear of being persecuted. Also, people have to learn to accept that religion because there is nothing they can do about it. If we didn't have freedom of religion you wouldn't be asking this question because you'd know the answer! Life would be boring, except of course from the seeking out of people who refuse to follow the chosen religion. There are many examples of what happens without freedom of religion in History, and still today. Mary Queen of Scots and Lady Jane Grey (the Nine Days Queen) are just two examples out of many.


Should religion be abolished?

No--look what happened when people tried to outlaw religion--followers cling onto it even more... Not a good idea; it will make you enemies that you don't need. Although removing religion from society has been tried before, it failed because some people don't want to give it up, some can't bear to be without the thought of an afterlife and some just can't think for themselves. Even if religion should be eliminated, doing so is impossible.
