[Lawrence Louis]

There is absolutely no need for religion today if people were better informed about philosophy and science. Any good that religion has done can be equaled if we have a global population who has a good grasp of these subjects. In fact, I would go further to say that we can even out do the good that religion has done, when people begin to have a better understanding of philosophy and science. Furthermore, I think we can rectify the numerous wrongs done by religion if we apply scientific and philosophical principles. In the final analysis, our hope for a better world is found in a rational worldview, and not one of ancient superstition.
