"Think for a moment about all the good things religion gives us. Religion provides meaning, purpose, and hope for billions of believers. It builds significant relationships and faith communities. It gives people a sense of transcendence. It motivates people to care for others. It promotes responsible ethics and high ideals. It inspires music, art, and beauty. It fosters generosity, law-abidingness, and civic engagement, and even has healthy benefits. A world without religion would be a bankrupt, impoverished world."
- The Answer to Bad Religion Is Not No Religion, Martin Thielen (Westminster John Knox Press)
