Imagine no religion. Well I'll start with a few positives. There would be no ten commandments, so in effect no moral order, I suppose you could reason someone would come up with something similiar, but they would surely be accused of pushing their opinions on society. It would have taken a long , long time before society agreed to teaching the lower classes and giving them( us) an education, as we would surely be a threat to them.
People would not in many cases find solace from those wonderful " religious" people like St Francis & St Bernadatte who gave themselves completely to those in need, and showed how not to love posessions, but to love one another. If there was no Christ, there would be no Christmas, and all that evolves around it, no Easter, no St Patrick, that would be a disaster for all the drinkers all around this green world. Kings and queens would not have been crowned. People would not anyone to pray to, they would be offered no hope of a " heaven" or another place where their loved ones might go to. No priests, nuns or others who were willing in the majority to devote their lives to their community.
Chances are, if there was no religion, man/ woman would find their own version, be it worshipping their favourite football team, or do something really crazy and start something like scientology, people descended from aliens.
