Re: If clergy were honest, would religions die?
I don't think so, but I would imagine it would be smaller and less influential. I think the real bit that hooks people in is where religions got to equivocate themselves with morality and being a good person. That's religions' "special trick" I think. Remove that, and we might have some believers still, but I think a lot of the harm (and perhaps the good too) religions cause would be gone.
I admit however, I pulled this completely out of my ass. It didn't even hurt.
