re theleveller's question:

There's lots of discussion about God, religion and the like in the lower section. But you raise a good point: What does it mean to be religious? Perhaps, at its most basic level, it means the recognition of things greater, higher than we. Whether it is awe of the universe or the recognition of its creator or the phenomenon of being, it's that thing which separates us from all other living entities (Chongo, Chimps and Bonobos excepted).
