I agree that banning religion won't work. if it didn't exist, it would soon be invented..

Religion seems to be one of two things.

A personal creed, using your faith to give yourself a moral compass with which to give your life fulfilment.

Or

A tool for oppressing others for your own benefit.

Me, I prefer to consider myself irreligious. Not atheist, because that can be a belief system in itself by proclaiming everybody has got it wrong. No, I just don't want to be a member of the club. any club.

Oh, I am hard wired for religion I suppose. I have been a supporter and season ticket holder at Sheffield Wednesday since I was seven years old. No matter how bad they play, no matter how humiliating the relegation, no matter how pathetic some of the boardroom tussles have been over the years... They are the best team in the world, no team can hold a candle to them and no, I am not interested in your statistics that may show Man Utd have more silverware, that's blasphemy at my church, (Hillsborough S6.)
