Don't get me wrong...I DO understand why people get annoyed with religion and over zealous types. I only wished to understand the level of annoyance you show, since you seem eager to attack religion when the subject comes up.
Also, I agee with you in that I don't see much difference in religion vs superstition vs beleif in spirits...most of the time (no, not always) these things go hand in hand.

Good points; but, I found this more poignant.

Plato eh? You sure? I think someone said Plato said it
Whoever said it I wish folks would hear it! You know, Triumph is really underrated
They were the other three-man Canadian arena rock band not called Rush
had to edit to post the lyrics. That is our message today folks. The music creates feelings; the Word is presented through the prose. I harped on that before; and, was called a lot of names.

The days grow shorter and the nights are getting long
Feels like we're running out of time
Every day it seems much harder tellin' right from wrong
You got to read between the lines
Don't get discouraged, don't be afraid, we can
Make it through another day
Make it worth the price we pay
The Good Book says it's better to give than to receive
I do my best to do my part
Nothin' in my pockets I got nothin' up my sleeve
I keep my magic in my heart
Keep up your spirit, keep up your faith, baby
I am counting on you
You know what you've got to do
CHORUS:
Fight the good fight every moment
Every minute every day
Fight the good fight every moment
It's your only way
All your life you've been waiting for your chance
Where you'll fit into the plan
But you're the master of your own destiny
So give and take the best that you can
You think a little more money will buy your soul some rest
You'd better think of something else instead
You're so afraid of being honest with yourself
You'd better take a look inside your head
Nothing is easy, nothing good is free
But I can tell you where to start
Take a look inside your heart
There's an answer in your heart
