Religious people don't have to be bad, yes. That does not magically erase the centuries of history where religion was used as an excuse to perpetrait violence.

Sure, it wouldn't "fix" violence, but you'd have to be a complete moron to fail to understand how the world would be very, very different if it were removed.

To think the world would be no different is literally as dumb as people who argue nothing should be illegal because people do bad things anyways...

No one is saying things would be perfect. They're only saying bad people would have one less excuse.
