I have to write a persuasive speech about religion and I was wondering what would be some good ideas to base my speech off?

Question

I was thinking something like... religion is relevant anymore, or religion causes more bad then good.

Any other ideas? It has to be 3-5 minutes long by the way. Thank you very much.

Answer 1

Excuse me, I meant religion ISN'T relevant anymore.

Answer 2

I think you're on the right track.

If religion is irrelevant, perhaps you could say that most religions are based upon myths that science has proven wrong. If you choose religion causes more bad than good, you could cite the innumerable wars and violent conflicts caused by religious interpretations.
