No.  You are free to join or not any Religion.  The question is Would the world better off without extremism?  And if anyone here thinks Religion is the cause of the conflicts today well you are very wrong.  It's all about borders, land and resources.
Some religions are not at all tolerant about not believing Serge, you know that ?
That's why I said extremism is the problem.

By that statement you call Islam a extremist religion, not only extremists in Islam look upon pagans and non believers as a sin ...

You post while having sex?
Well since you are married I understand your lack of sex.  Technology has come a long way.
Lol, good comeback, but it took you a while to think of it.

I don't know many Muslims tbh, but I think moderate Muslims want a change for Islam.  Again, extremists won't accept such thing.

That is where you are wrong actually, the moderate Muslim want to practice his religion according to the Quran and it says non-believers are sinful aka his neighbour and country fellowman is supposed to be a Muslim also and if not is rejected by his community.

The way moderate Muslims wants change is by us non-Muslims to treat them with understanding witch we obviously have a hard time doing as we see the actions of a few as applied to all.

Hard to say, religion was the driving force behind the expansion era in the 1500s and 1600s, but it is also the primary cause of world conflict.

It would be probably be the same.  Religion is just a tool, and can do nothing on it's own -- people are the ones doing the good and bad in the name of religion. 

Regardless, something would have filled the void of influence that religion occupies.

The world would be better off without dogma and extremism.  Religion itself isn't the enemy.

I voted no, I believe faith is a good thing to have.

Religion gives people something to believe in, a greater power they can turn to in bad times as well as good.  However, it's extremists, of all religions, who use their beliefs as an excuse for violence and to further their own ambitions that give religion a bad name.  These people are the worst kind of hypocrites since all religions preach peace.
