36. Being religious has nothing to do with being moral.
I've seen no evidence that people who go to church weekly are any more moral than logical people who eschew supertition. In fact, to thje contrary, religious people seem to do MORE unethical things, because they think all they have to do is repent.

They're so hung up on the silly issue of whether they have angered some God or not that they never get to the level of emotional maturity where you actually care about others out of empathy rather than fear.
