Minor quibble: religion is about social control, i.e., God says you can do this but not that.
I'm not trying to attack religion (happy to do that elsewhere), just trying to clarify the language being used. Specifically, this game of calling people who believe in a certain morality religious is dishonest. Just because I believe that all people should be treated equally regardless of race, creed, color, gender, sexuality, nationality, etc -- that doesn't make me religious. I hope at worst it makes me avoid being a "bad person".
