We can't really imagine a world without religion, because religion is all anyone has known for—well, forever. You think that you can guess what an areligious society would be like, but even this is an illusion. If we were any good as a species at engineering societies, then we wouldn't be living in one that continues to evade perfect function. The problem isn't religion. The problem is humanity, and the utter unpredictability of what motivates people to action—both for good and for evil.

In the bolded words lies the conundrum. The Christian world believes that the Muslim world is evil, and vice versa, the atheist world believes they are both evil and vice versa, the agnostics sit on a fence and sing la la la whilst holding fingers to ear, Eastern religions think it doesn't matter, we will be reincarnated anyways and the Chinese simply laugh at all the round eyes wanting to kill everyone else. wait a second here.....他媽的的緣故，一直計劃！
