I was just sitting around in counterstrike, somehow the subject got on this guy saying "hey man, not just fuck islam, fuck all religion. organized religion that is. I mean religion's done it's fair share for society, like build the laws and morality our society is built on".

Four words for you Law Code of Hammurabi. Hammurabi's code was a secular law code, and one of the first examples of a written constitution. It laid down many laws which winged their way into the bible (e.g. an eye for an eye) and many which did not (presumption of innocence at trial).
