And how do you suppose we make everyone believe in the values of religion? If that was possible, couldn't we make everyone believe in the positive values of a secular society just as easily? How about we just go around brain-washing everyone?

I don't know if we could make people believe in the positive values of a secular society because morality is relative. And I'm not saying that I think we should make people believe in the value of religion. I'm just wondering if, as it's already in place, it's useful for people to self regulate their own behavior.
