Subject: RE: BS: Religion=good folk doing bad things?
I did not say that all people are religious in the same way, Amos. I merely said that all people are religious. Like I said, it depends about what, that's all.

Millions of religious people come to the local casino here every year. They're religious about their miniscule chances of winning big at a game of very long odds.

Millions of business people wear silly forms of clothing (like suits and ties), use silly expressions like "prioritize" and "run it up the flagpole and see who salutes", and have silly power lunches together where they try desperately to impress each other. They're religious about what they call "success"! ;-) As far as I'm concerned, they are all totally mad and in the grip of a bizarre religion.

I could give many other such examples. They are endless.
