text: what do you think will happen in this world if religion does not exist ?   religion was created for man--not man for religion  god did not create religion...god gave us the bible to set us free and make us free to form godly relationships  you might want to consider that religion is different from having a relationship with a living god  in revelations, it is written that an antichrist will come from the body of believers  and believers will become a minority, facing persecution (for example, from the aclu)  catholicism is more likely a religion rather than a relationship  wherever you see "religion", you might want to see it more as a "relationship"  persecution might cause religion to become all but outlawed, but a relationship is likely to prevail  even though she was deaf, dumb and blind, helen keller knew of the existence of god long before it was explained to her
