A manifesto for a good life?

[Arbenol]

Bs arbienol, you know as well as I do that humans are gong to do what they are going to do do with or without religion. Our great capacity over nature is creativity for good or Ill. Whistle all you want. But there are many dogmas that have nothing to do with the 'super ' natural.

I did say that uncritical adherence to any ideology (religious or otherwise) is a sure recipe for trouble.

Whilst you're right that people will often do what they do regardless of belief, it's not the whole story. For every a-hole that uses religion to justify their bigotry or intolerance, there will be another who's attitudes are inspired by it.
