And I meant useless as an actual descriptor of one's morality- you can definitely use it as a metaphor in the same way "spirit" can be used, but other than that I don't see its effectiveness.
I don't see a reason why one has to be a spiritual person to be moral. Yeah I've heard of it, there's one baha'i on the forum, but I still haven't searched about it
It's definitely more progressive than, say, Islam, and was ahead of its time for the 19th century, but has plenty of problems as well. For instance, they still don't support gay marriage, think that people who have premarital sex are inevitably headed for disaster, and think that this world will give way to a theocratic one world government. And that's just the very tip of a very bizarre iceberg.

Han Solo: Kid, I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other, and I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen *anything* to make me believe that there's one all-powerful Force controlling everything. 'Cause no mystical energy field controls *my* destiny. It's all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense.
