There's definitely a God...

.....to the real problem of the long term damage religion has done to people's ability to think critically, it has retarded humanity on a global scale, kept us in the infancy of our development.

Ok, so how would a hypothetical secular human history look? Personally I can't see it. It would need the majority of people to be intelligent, open-minded and at least a little fearless. We are fortunate that in this day and age we can answer many of the questions about the world and our place in it, but what about those dark, early days?

I don't think religion is some malign force stalking us, fettering our development. I believe embracing (even the need for) religion is innate to the majority of us and that to write a history of mankind free of religion is to seriously modify what we are.
