Ditch Religion?

I do not think it is humanly possible to ditch religion. Civilizations from the beginning of time believed in some sort of higher power. Even if religion is not taught to a person, they will search for answers to things they cannot explain. I think the article made it clear that the human mind is always looking for some explanation to any unexplained phenomena. Religion is a natural leap for the mind to make. It is impossible for people who have strong religious beliefs to drop them.This need to fill in the gaps of logic make it impossible for a society to be without some aspect of religion.

Society would not benefit from religion being completely dropped because of the moral codes we are taught through religions. They help society to have a balance between good and evil. The morals we are taught in religions make us feel obliged to help others in times of need and treat others with respect. Society must have a moral compass and religion helps us to determine the north, south, east, and west.

I think our society should work to accept all religions. Even though religions tend to differ on their individual beliefs, they do share some basic principles. Our society should learn to focus on the main points of a religion instead of quarreling over the more precise doctrines. Society has already incorporated basic teachings into public policy with laws against murder and stealing. No one has a problem with those.
