The one strength that I see in religion is that it does have a potential to create a sense of community. But shouldn't we be looking to build community without having to construct it on a religious foundation?
every community has an inside and an outside. Too often, a community that's great on the inside treats outsiders poorly. (College fraternities are communities, too.) Even more, the inside of a lot of communities are hierarchical, dominated by older males, etc. -- Jim Devine / "Advocates of capitalism are very apt to appeal to the sacred principles of liberty, which are embodied in one maxim: The fortunate must not be restrained in the exercise of tyranny over the unfortunate."-- Bertrand Russell
