"Revisionist history aside "
Please, educate me. What did I say that was factually incorrect about American history? I am all ears...
"My proposal would save lives in todays world"
You cannot begin to show that eliminating all religion would result in a net gain of lives. For example, President Bush enacted the President's Emergency Plan for Aids Relief in Africa. Bush will tell you that his faith was the motivation behind that plan. That plan is credited with saving one million lives in Africa.
One specific religion, is probably a net minus in the lives saved/lost column.
If you want to know what happens when religion is eliminated writ large, I refer you to the USSR, North Korea, Communist China, etc.
You said once you were religious, you go to some church. Why on Earth would you go, if religion, in the aggregate, results in the loss of life?
