I think I was a little scattershot with my answers, but I suppose it bears out. I hold to the Maoist view that Religion Is Poison, but won't begrudge anybody who actually finds their lives are healthier through their religious experiences. It really isn't up to me to judge what works for a society, only what works (or doesn't) for myself. In the meantime, if there are Higher Powers (singular, plural, or unifying), then my relationship with such things are between me and them, and no other person has the right to tell me otherwise. I believe in the right of the believer to believe, the right of the skeptic to question, and the right to be left alone.
