Sometimes, there is a tendency to judge the morality of dated or ancient cultures with our local cultural norm in our place and time. That norm over the eons evolves, sometimes rapidly. What is it that makes us think our local culture, especially today's politically-correct-on steroids or ultra-religious cultures--pick your favorite--is "correct?" (I also need to know what ancient Greek habit offends you before agreeing or disagreeing.)

I think the problem is not necessarily religion but monotheism. I see nothing wrong with having personal spiritual beliefs that fall outside of logic or science. The problem is dogma that let's people control, demonize, or dehumanize others for non-belief. Nobody gets upset that someone might like chocolate over vanilla but if you prefer one set of spiritual beliefs over another that somehow can justify anything from enslavement to genocide.

Clever title to get people of faith to listen to you berate them and attempt to talk them down from their belief systems. What is the "future of religion"? His answer; we just shouldn't have it anymore. And people were losing faith long before we had access to the internet. Your claim that there is a correlation between atheism and access to information seems desperate to me. What's this about Buddhists' genocide against non-Buddhists? Come back when you actually have something to talk about.

But its true though. There is no future of any religion. Generation Z is the least religious generation. Atheism has been doubled in gen Z. I think it's time to stop believing in imaginary things and get real. It's time to focus on more important things such as climate change, global peace, human rights, animal rights, science and technology. That being said, I agree that religions, culture and traditions should be preserved and practised, because they make many people happy.

By 8 min, he´s a tragic-comedian like the New Atheists. He´s a little unclear about the Greek situation, in which Socrates etc were spiritual philosophers. He´s wrong about the basis of Europe´s good social system, but he is right about reform. "It hasn´t worked for 2000 years....." That´s the problem. From Universities to abolishing slavery, Christian spirituality led the way, and up to the UN by FDR. Moller´s "atheism" is what? It´s secular humanist extremism equating outrage and the irony of hypocrisy with the issue, and his own intolerant anti-religious ideology. In Social Europe it almost seems to work, because social values after WW II were set up strongly. The analysis needs to address individual needs, which corresponds to spirituality, and modernization.

His understanding of psychology is poor or very much based on bias-confirmation. Psychology shows that people are born with a natural belief in the supernatural. Atheism is actually taught. His whole talk was based on subjective feelings. There was no rational discussion on religion at all. His understanding of history and philosophy is poor too. It is the worst TED speech I have seen. Normally the worst TED speeches usually have some factual evidence to support their subjective position.

I have been brought up in a religious family. Since my childhood, I have questioned the existence of God, ghosts or anything supernatural. No one taught me not to believe in God but everyone tried to indoctrinate me with fake beliefs. I am lucky, I can still think by myself and see what's right, what's fake. I can't trust you unless you show me the studies psychologists did to show that people are born with a natural belief. You are most certainly wrong. If a child is brought up in isolation from all religions, there is no way he/she will have the slightest perception of the existence of God. You can look at animals, they aren't aware of any God. You can tell that simply by examining their movements and behaviour.

I once read an article about the distinction between a religion/ cult. The writer of that article underscored the obvious element of the CULT that might distinguish it from a religion. It has to have a CHARASMATIC LEADER . He also noticed that both Christianity and Buddhism have a charismatic leader that these two religions are named after. He also added that Islam that has no name Of the leader in the name of the religion was called ORIGINALLY Muhammadism. But is that true about Islam. I have always thought that Muhammedinism is ENGLISH TERM invented by the British during colonial time.

The question should be; what would be the nature of such a being as "God" if god actually did exist? Just because humans have imagined a god in their own images doesn't mean there is a lack of something that we might perceive as a deity. Basic physics; matter is a specialized subset of reality that is produced by the interactions between various energy fields. We see it as "solid" solely because that allows us to navigate reality well enough to seek food & shelter & in order to reproduce. Look up Bernardo Kastrup to see explanations that make it clear that the only thing that truly exists is consciousness. Arguably, there is a transcendent field of consciousness (of which we are a subset) which might better fit the description of "God" than anything humans have created. Of course, while there may be some useful truths that religion can access, for the most part, Mr Moller is correct, religion is a very destructive force for humanity.

I think religiosity (respective the human tendency to believe in supernatural stuff) is a product of evolution. This would 1) explain why almost all human cultures we know of developed some kind of religious tradition and 2) explain why these religious traditions are as different and incompatible as they are. If there were a real god, or real gods, why would geography decide in which god one believes? And why would there be so much disagreement among believers in the same god(s)? (= so many different Islamic traditions, so many different Christian denominations etc.)

Yes there has always been a god cause it reassures us that the person who is doing wrong to us would be punished by the God cause the person itself does not have that power. It our fear that there will be a afterlife or something where they will be awarded. God is also hope for hopeless people who have no one to turn to. The countries which have high number of Atheists are rich have safety, better laws to protect people . When people feel protected they do not need God anymore. _SIMPLE AS THAT_ Get it.

This talk was pretty superficial. He kind of treats religion as this sort of affliction that we need to cure, when in reality it is something generated by mankind throughout history and obviously serves a purpose. Being religious mostly makes people feel calmer about themselves and their lives, it gives them a moral foundation and a community, and it gives them a sense of purpose. Religion promotes social cohesion and altruism. It takes us away from obsessing about ourselves and replaces the focus on God. Of course old doctrine is problematic in many ways, but it's unfortunately a kind of inevitability.

Births, deaths and marriages require rituals. Religion does ritual very well. However, the power of the priests has decreased dramatically. Personally, I believe in God, how else to explain the universe and everything in it down to nano size particles.

I think both in western Europe and the America it is dangerous to attend places of worship if you are not white protestant or White CATHOLIC at least at the COMING 100 years and if you are an OBSERVANT and you love to attend go to places of worship that are reformed and make sure to connect to the meaning of the GOSPEL.

If he is advocating for 'religious' belief to be held only as a private matter, wouldn’t this very TEDTalk go against this? Atheism is a worldview conviction on the existence of the supernatural. Could no atheist freely express his atheistic conviction in public? What might be the implications of living in such a world? Alternately, he might be suggesting that yes, atheistic views should be acceptable to discuss publicly because it is not a religion, but ideas dubbed 'religious' because of their affirmation of the supernatural should be kept as a private matter, out of the public discourse. If that is the case, what makes this one worldview exceptional above the worldview of others? While it would be quite wonderful for anyone who agrees with the view, it would take away the voice of any dissenting opinion.. and ultimately be a return to a ‘dark age’ of sorts, the only difference would be which party is in power and which is silenced.

It’s not secluded to religion if everyone was an atheist we would have peace, if we were all Christian we would have peace, if we were all Muslim we would have peace. It’s not based on religion why we can’t have peace is different values so you can’t say they are reason we’re not working together it’s because we make seclusion.

I like how he tries to justify atheism good by telling only the wrong things about some religions and those things too somehow wrong.... I can only tell about Hinduism... He mentioned that Hinduism is about being in the same hierarchial position from birth... Actually, In reality, Hinduism says that your hierarchy is dependent upon your karma's (just like Reddit)... The things you do define your position ins society.... For example if you study good, behave good teach others good things you become a Brahmana... Some people say it's from birth... But actually it's decided from your karma's
