I can agree that religion can bind people together, who ever questioned that?

However, I would prefer some religion who wasnt as harmful as, say, the christian or muslim ones.

The idea of religion binding people together is however, at large, wrong. Why? Because this bonding comes from excluding others. If everyone in the world shared a belief, religion could be a positive force, however, in its current function it excludes and creates problem as much, if not more, than it helps.

It's all about what perspective you have.


On a sidenote: OF COURSE religious people are more happy, haven't you heard "ignorance is a bliss"? However, I have a hard time believing some dusty old book just so I can get to bond with some american redneck..
