No, people don't need religion to be moral. There is more immorality than morality in books like the torah, koran, and bible.
No, religion isn’t interested in facts, they’re interested in their made-up stories, and how they can modify their stories over time to scare you so much that you stay in that particular religion to extract as much money from you as possible.
As robvalue said, it’s a big book of multiple choice, you don’t have to adjust to this book all that much. You can ignore what you want, and take what you want from it, to match it to your own morality, and Bingo! you’re part of brainless cult. Congratulations religion, you sucked in another one, for the corrupt, immoral assholes at the top of the food chain.

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' -Isaac Asimov-
