That is the best Idea i have heard all night! The problem is that most people are so fanatical about their religion that there wil end up being civil wars all through out the world; this religion is suppose to behave that way but only half their followers do and so on!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

WAKEE, WAKEE!.
The Theocracy of Religion isn't the only factor dividing the countries of the World!.

Are you forgetting, or have you been asleep and have no conception of the Political Aspects, Territorial - Ancestral History, Population Boundaries, Industrial-Mineral Stipulations etc etc etc

Religion is only a minor factor, brought into popular view so that the 'Powers that Be', appear to abide by some Racial Dogma!. Which has no realistic influence!.
Unless, of course, your learning is based upon writings that are found in one book and you abide by those farcical words!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

How would you divide a multi-denominational country!? Would you force nonbelievers to convert or move!? It's bad enough that we have political views to squabble over, why would you want to add religion to the mix where it isn't a major concern!? People should be able to believe what they want wherever they live!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

it was tried one way with pakistan and the other way out in Northern Ireland trying to dilute catholicism by adding protestants into the mix!.
I think people are too attached to 'place' to be able to cope - it would need agreements from everyone and seeing that it hasn't worked so far cant see that happening -

I'd love it though- think I might feel safer being in an atheist zone!.

Sounds too a bit like Shikasta in Doris Lessings trilogy where people travel around to find the city whose configuration appeals to them most!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Insane!. Religions have missionaries who go to WAR to get converts!. Each side of the battle claim GOD is with them!. He just watches us screw up the possibilities ever to have
PEACE ON EARTH There are sure a lot of religious CONS going on and there real PROS behind itWww@QuestionHome@Com

well an upside is everyone in that region would agree with one another but since everyone is in agreement they'll be a baby boom most likely and since the territories would most likely be distributed by population it would lead to border disputesWww@QuestionHome@Com

Do you think it is not crazy to separating the Earth into countries based on politics!? What's the difference between politics and religion in a sense of country establishment!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
