there is inequality, exploitation of animals, humans and the environment, poverty, starvation, war, crime and murder...there is no end to human misery due to independence from God.
Where did man come up with inequality, from your Bible myths, ie that Blacks were descended from Ham's son Canaan and were therefore cursed. How many murdered have been committed in God's name. Look at the religious wars Arabs vs Jews in the middle east, Catholics vs Protestants in Northern Ireland. or Christian vs Christian, World War II.
Both sides claimed God was on their side. As for poverty, starvation and the environment, who is attempting to fix this? Not the religious. In the States anyway, the vocal religious push just the opposite, everything from subjugation of women, blacks, homosexuals and any other group that does,'t fit with their theocratic ideology. Sure the moderate Theists aren't like that but the fundies even claim that the moderates are akin to Atheists since they accept non-fundie ideals as evolution, equality, saving the environment etc.
