What would really like to discuss in this thread is how to help with the growth and spread of people trying to become better people, to help make the world better for all people everywhere, because they want to.
What is the criteria for this "better person" and who decides it? If you want a discussion on this, then we need to know what goal your trying to reach. To your initial point about "faith and god", I don't think we have any good evidence that those things make for a better society, in fact I think the evidence shows "faith and god" make it worse.
