Re: What it's not good for
I've always thought that societies would be great if everybody got a "little bit" of religion when they were young, but then all became Agnostic and open-minded as adults.
​
If nobody's sure, then what is there to fight about?
​
If everybody believes in divine retribution during their formative years, then they will internalize thost acceptable social behaviors.
​
Maybe everyone should be raised Unitarian?
