Do some people need religion?

RE: Do some people need religion?
Fuck the touchy, feely, people need religion to give meaning to their lives bullshit.

Religion is still necessary to keep stupid people from doing real harm to society.

I never understood this. The whole, spiritual but not religious thing. I feel like they kinda go hand in hand don't they?

No .... I don't think so.

It (to me) translates to .... "I can be a nice caring person without organised religion"

"Spiritual" if you like...along the lines of Buddhism

Buddhist philosophy helped me appreciate some aspects of science and allowed me to become more aware of the failings of Christianity.

Similarly, I know there are some mass murderers in Africa that stop when they have Christian experiences.

I would like these areas of the mind to be considered more by science before preaching atheism as what people need.
