The charity? The community leadership in general if not on some specific issues? The general sense of instilling of good values? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 16, 10:34 12
- None of those are religion-specific. I'm atheist but I give to charity, am a leader in my community and try to instill good values in my children and - JaxSean Dec 16, 10:35 6
  - You don't need religion, but organized religion *is* directly responsible for much good in the world and that shouldn't be ignored. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 16, 10:39 2
    - Just because they do good doesn't mean that if religion "went away" that good would go away as well. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 16, 10:42

  - I don't think anyone is claiming religions have a monopoly on charity, or that they invented them. - Inigo Dec 16, 10:38 2
    - why do you assume the individual efforts would go away? -- nm - znufrii Dec 16, 10:39 1
      - A lot of soup kitchens are funded by religious organizations. - Inigo Dec 16, 10:41
- strictly speaking, you don't *need* religion for any of those things to happen. -- nm - znufrii Dec 16, 10:35 4
  - You should invent something that will do that. - Let it Spawn, let it Spawn, let it Spawn! Dec 16, 10:36
  - You don't need religion to happen for any of the bad stuff either -- nm - Roger More Dec 16, 10:36 2
    - nor does religion neccesarily prevent the bad stuff from happening. -- nm - Reagen Dec 16, 10:39 1
      - Sure - sometimes it helps prevent it, other times (unfortunately) it helps encourage it -- nm - Roger More Dec 16, 10:40
