Social Functions
#11
RE: Social Functions
No, there are not, to answer your original question.

People can seek therapy with counselors, not priests. People can get married in courthouses instead of churches. People can have their children kept healthy and safe, not through baptism/christening, but through hospitals, clinics, etc. I would be shocked if someone could find one thing religion provides that secularists aren't getting elsewhere.
