So, if we go back to the "time before religion" we would be back in the Stone Age, living in caves, hunting with spears, etc., right? I'll keep my world of Christians and Muslims, complete with cars, air conditioning, hospitals, and fast food.Originally Posted by Sinfix_15

Wow...... did you really just say that????
My nonreligious world has cars too, but i test drive them before i buy them.... and want to drive every single one of them.
To associate christianity with technology in any way shape or form is absolutely ridiculous. Most of the world's genius' were nonreligious.... because to be honest.... anyone that intelligent is naturally intelligent enough not to believe in fairy tales. Look up the % of scientist who believe in god...... go grab a post it note and make me a list of certified genius' who believe in god. Sigmund Freud, Leonardo Divinci, Warren Buffet, Mark Zuckerburg, many believe the 3rd president of the united states was an atheist....god sure did "bless" these nonbelievers.
religion is a thorn in the side of science and medicine, to give them credit for any technological advancements is asinine! Remove religion from the world and we're probably living to be 250 years old right now. "playing god" if god's works can be replicated then maybe hes not that special after all.
I didn't quote the rest of your post because you're too stupid to actually research what you say, but saying intelligent people don't believe in God is just flat out dumb. The funny part is this is coming from by far the stupidest member to ever post on this website, so it's meaningless to anyone that should take offense from it. lol
From your post it also seems you think any religious individual doesn't believe in science, medicine, or anything else. You seem to think anyone that believes in God is blind to anything else in the world and thinks God deserves credit for anything and everything that is done. You also seem to think without religion we would live longer? LMFAO! I never knew religion dictated how long you live. Where did you grow up? Did you even get out of middle school?
You really have a reading comprehension problem, don't you?
Do you have any concept of how integrated religion is in Japanese society? How it affects their culture and decision making? Your car is a Japanese import. just think about it for a moment. Christianity is not the only religion.
Thomas Jefferson was a diest, not a Christian.
You need to study your history, as you clearly have no concept of how we reached this point in time.
You are a moron to believe that we would be 250 years old without religion. Your ignorance and hatred towards "God" blinds you to reality.

But honestly, how does religion have to do with the things we build, invent, and discover? Religion is mainly just believing how we got here and why. Because I believe in god and have religious ways, is that the reason I do something great? ...... So if japanese people didnt have a religion we wouldnt have any cars from japan? This whole idea of religion makes us do this or that isn't a good topic to discuss IMO, because there is no proof that someones religion DIRECTLY is the reason they did something great.
Belief and faith affects people's outlooks and decision, even if they do not always realize it. It can be for good or bad. Look at the Crusades - a very negative event that still affects our world centuries later. People do not sit down and say, "I'm going to invent something because of religion"; however, their environment always affects them, and religion is part of their environment. You cannot separate one part of someone's existence and still arrive at the sum of their life.
Likewise, the denial of a specific existence has a similar affect, not to leave that out either.
In specific answer to your exact questions:
Believing or not believeing could affect your decisions, either negatively or positively, but either is likely to have some variation of impact on you, in varying amounts. You might do something great, or something terrible (or something not so much either way).
Without religion, we might still have cars from Japan, but the conditions that they produce them could be drastically different in regards to work practices.
