Religion has no place in the modern world - CMV

I, as you may have gathered, am atheist along with many, I'd assume, of the reddit community. I am a very accepting person and will not release the hounds if you tell me you're religious in some way. In saying that, I believe the modern world, science, physics and astronomy utterly decimates all arguments that those who are religious uphold for being religious. I like to use the Copernicus argument; many speculate he died after presenting proof that the Earth, contrary to what almost all at that time believed, was in fact round. Of course, in our modern world such a thing would be seldom replicated. But also in this modern world, essentially everyone on the face of the planet knows for a fact that the Earth is somewhat spherical. Change my view.

I wouldn't say *no* place. It is still a very good coping mechanism if used well (it can be extremely harmfully if you approach it pessimistically). Also, for people that aren't very curious, it's a good way of satiating their hunger for answers without requiring them to think much. Religious beliefs can be very comforting to people.

That said, it definitely has less of a place in the modern world, and this is evident as atheism/agnosticism is at an all time high (excluding before we could come up with such ideas).
