Without religion you wouldn't haven't Dostoevky, or Tolstoy, or Comac Mccarthy, or Flannery O'Connor, or Marilyn Robinson, who have offered us greater insights into ourselves, then others. In fact you wouldn't have an MLK, or a Gandhi.
Without religions, our reflection about ourselves would be less authentic or more superficial, even atheists rely on their opposition to religion to see themselves.
