The end of religion

If I were an atheïst with the wish of banning religion, I would strive for one thing only: the coincidence of experience with knowledge and with being. We would simply know what is what we experience and the meaning of it. There would be no argumentation for atheïsm, because it is the way it is, and we all know that our way we interprete equals the way it must be interpreted, because it is.

It would mean the end of doubt, the end of questions, the end of uncertainty. We would know everything. Not by knowing in the sense that we know everything that could be seen or experienced, but in the sense that we know everything about the nature and being of what we actually experience. We could live in the ease and peace of mind with the knowledge that everything that happens has exactly the meaning we know it has. No questioning, no debate.

But would we know the future? Would we know the past? What kind of knowledge would we not know? These questions arise from our current position, where experience, knowledge and being appear divided. Comprehensible, but then irrelevant.
