All I've tried to point out since I've been here is that the atheist notion of religion can't benefit society is just as closed minded as science explains everything natural. We all understand unchanging dogma and blind anything are detrimental, as is fanaticism, but to see no value in using a conceptual moral absolute or doctrine espousing equality and loving thy fellow man is just as ludacris to me.
religion is a wild card. even conceptual moral absolutes are relative, depending on the religion of the geographic location you are born in. if you were born elsewhere, your moral absolute (supposedly justified by your 'ancient text') would be stoning as a proper way to deal with a woman that has committed adultery. Their stoning is not fanaticism, it's just their 'moral absolutes justified by their religious doctrine'. I agree with you about espousing equality and loving thy neighbor but I don't believe that Christianity has a monopoly over these values. .
