@canuckprogressive.3435 take a look at some numbers comparing welfare paid by taxes and church donations, per Capita in areas that have strong church attendence. It's pretty telling. You don't have to believe in God to see the positive impact faith has on society, I'm an atheist, but I love Christians, most of my favorite people I've ever met were Christian. Finding something that drives you towards being a good person isn't that easy, it's not the default setting for humans. Our default setting is to be ruthless, and self serving, because that's the easiest way to survive and thrive within a cooperative society. Getting people to voluntarily cooperate with you is a lot harder than getting them to involuntarily help you through deception. It doesn't have to be god, or any particular religion, or religion at all, you just have to believe you're not the most important thing in the universe. Even if you concede that you don't know what the most important thing in the universe is.
