outcome
"The abandonment of old religions would unleash science from its shackles, transforming our slow struggle into a vibrant leap of wisdom and creativity, turning the earth into the paradise that religions have only promised."
According to Osho, abandoning belief in old religions would remove science’s biggest brake, turning slow, inch-by-inch struggle into a hundredfold leap—an outburst of wisdom, creativity, and affluence. With belief and nationalistic politics no longer misdirecting research toward destruction, our existing know‑how could transform earth into the ‘paradise’ religions promise, because inquiry would face facts rather than defend dogma.
If we drop old religious beliefs and divisions, science can speed up hugely and use today’s tools to make life good here and now.
