Sorry fleah but finding out that God is not true then it would send the world in major suffering and pain. Weither God is real or a tool used to help us deal with the idea of death and hoping we have more is not my place to judge. I do think however the Bible is a lie and nothing more. Trust what you feel is right and then you will be fine. As for human advancments, we will always advance and believing in a God will not change that. It is true that this world have had many wars based on religion, but that is not the only reason for wars. Hitler still would have rised up. He would have targeted another group of people thou but thats all. He only targeted Jews because they were easy scapgoats. God has nothing to do with our peace, not now not ever.
