>>Yes, heaven forbid we indoctrinate any morals into our young people before they're too old for it to make a difference.<<

Since when did religion have a monopoly on morality? Just because religion dresses itself up as moral teachings, doesn't make it the only source.

It also appears to have failed as a tool for teaching morals. There are far too many religious extremists, justifying their actions with divine right or lessons from their holy books.

Very useful as a tool to rally for war though, and a superb way for society to cull its less intelligent, more impressionable members. The irony is sublime: religion as a tool to implement Darwinism as a policy.
