I mean...what are we supposed to do with that? There are so many problems with it even a line by line response wouldn't catch all of it. It seems to be entirely woven from overlapping and interlocking bits of crap.
If you get rid of everything from religion that isn't a fact, you get rid of religion. Religion centres on belief in things you can't know to be true. That's its entire thing. This social cohesion bollocks is just that. Certainly somewhere like the UK, church attendance is dwindling to next to nothing, so practically no one comes together due to religion. As for 'normality in religion', who knows what the hell that means. 'Family focus'? In what way do we need religion for that? Two posts, and two separate iterations of the claim that God is all around us. I feel like I'm in Four Weddings and a Funeral. Tack on an unsubstantiated argumentum ad populum and a false dichotomy, and the catalogue of bilge is complete. There, that's about as much time as I'm willing to give this post.
