Any simple claim that you need religion to be good is flat wrong.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The problem is that religion tends to give people bad reasons to be good.
Religion can be both good and bad - it is spirituality that counts.
Religion has a good place and it has its good people.
There are some forms of religion that are bad, just as there's bad cooking or bad art or bad sex, you have bad religion too.
Every religion is good that teaches man to be good; and I know of none that instructs him to be bad.
Religion is not a popular error; it is a great instinctive truth, sensed by the people, expressed by the people.
If your religion doesn't teach you the difference between good and evil, your religion is worse than useless.
If you have religious faith, very good, you can add on secular ethics, then religious belief, add on it, very good. But even those people who have no interest about religion, okay, it's not religion, but you can train through education.
All outward forms of religion are almost useless, and are the causes of endless strife. Believe there is a great power silently working all things for good, behave yourself and never mind the rest.
As a matter of fact, you have deficiencies in all religions, but you have truth in all religions.
