A button lies before you. If you push it, every single person on earth is informed the objectively true religion, which they can understand to be factual. Do you push the button?

Vote: Yes

Yes. If there is an objectively true religion and everyone can understand it as factual, giving all people access to that truth is a major increase in human knowledge and autonomy. The button does not say it forces belief, worship, or obedience; it informs people of what is true. Withholding that information would leave billions in avoidable error about one of the most important questions humans face. Social disruption is possible, but the long-term moral value of universal access to decisive truth outweighs that risk.

Providing humanity with the objective truth about the fundamental nature of reality is an unparalleled good. Throughout history, countless wars, persecutions, and societal divisions have been fueled by conflicting religious beliefs and unprovable dogmas. By pushing the button, we instantly eradicate the root cause of these conflicts, paving the way for unprecedented global unity and peace. Furthermore, access to truth is a fundamental right. Denying humanity factual knowledge about the universe and their existence, when it is readily available, would be a profound disservice. Knowing the objective truth allows individuals to make fully informed, rational choices about how they live their lives and treat others. Even if the truth is challenging or uncomfortable, humanity deserves to live in reality rather than in a state of ignorance, uncertainty, or divided delusion.

The premise stipulates two crucial things: (1) there is an objectively true religion, and (2) every person can understand it to be factual. This eliminates the usual concerns about coercion of belief or epistemic violation — people aren't being brainwashed, they're being given access to a verifiable truth, much like revealing any other fact about reality. The benefits are immense: countless religious wars, persecutions, sectarian conflicts, and existential anxieties throughout history have stemmed from genuine uncertainty about ultimate questions. Resolving this uncertainty truthfully would end enormous suffering and allow humanity to align its moral and spiritual life with reality. Refusing to push would mean preferring comfortable ignorance and ongoing conflict over truth. If we value truth-seeking at all, withholding a free, universal revelation of fact would be perverse. People remain free to act on the information as they choose — knowing a truth doesn't compel worship or obedience.

Revealing the objectively true religion as verifiable fact would eliminate centuries of conflict, division, and misinformation. Humanity could then focus on shared ethical growth rather than competing beliefs. Short-term societal shock is likely but outweighed by the long-term gain of universal clarity; individuals would retain free will to accept or reject the religion even while knowing its factual basis.

Final Summary
