The world would be the same, insane people will kill millions and sane people will try to stop them, they just wont have any justification for their killing...you seem to be saying religion stops murder and bloodshed, but if you look around and if you look at history you will see religion has been a bigger cause of death than anything else.

No people's selfish desires who manipulate religion is the cause of those deaths. Like said before if religion wasn't around human beings would find another means of manipulation to murder and kill millions. Morals would be skewed if not for an thought ever existing of repercussions of an afterlife punishment. Do u think most a scared of prison then hell?
