I like it when BSAMS uses people's own logic against them. It's funny.

But, back on the topic of this thread, I do think religion does help society. Religious beliefs established morales and ethics for all cultures (whether they were Jewsish, Christian, Islam, or not). Many religions also focus on the betterment of man himself. While maybe not pushing all followers to become stinkin' rich, most do promote a way to interact with one another to the betterment of the whole and not the individual (how can Marx argue against that?). Religon can be corrupted and used to oppress and subjegate, but so can any other system that man gets his hands on (hello communism!).

This is true both in politics and on the internet."
