Do we need religion? [Spirituality & Religion]

There are many good, caring, compassionate people who do many good things for others, while many horrible things have been done by people advocating religion. Can't we learn to be good people, and simply acknowledge that treating each other well benefits everyone?

I do think our society needs a strong, binding set of principles that make us brothers, that defeats the fear of death and makes us confident in our own culture so that we may fight back against Islam.

Islam is a religion too. The problem with religions is their tendency to want to eradicate OTHER religions. Life is way more complicated than just fighting another religion.@pianoplayingsteve

@Imaginethat So, you don't think Islam is of any particular threat?
