Reform.   Interesting question Joe.

I notice it is rarely those in charge who seek reform.

Which brings us to my point regarding the use if not the origins of religion.

In fact, the idea of "if you don't do as I say the gods will be pissed off" goes back to the origins of language. See cave paintings for details. And that was well before a Hebrew God was ever invented.

I like the schism in The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.   It appears there is now a Reformed Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Hey Joe? isn't the endeavour of The Secular Society, The Humanist Movement and other "atheist" bodies really a reform movement? Keep the morals but lose the fantasy?

Just a thought.
