Coping: A Big Tool for Religions

Scripture isn't the recipe for being a good person. It's the recipe for being a pretty atrocious person, which, after being filtered through a lot of modern social constructs that prohibit things like stoning your neighbor, results in something that might be mistaken for a passably tolerable person, on average.
