No. Absolutely not. It's not exactly a secret that I am critical of religion, but I think destroying religion is going too far. The dirty truth is that religion is needed as a staple part of society. People need something to put their faith into.

I really have to disagree with this one. The notion that religion is something that society or individuals "need" seems less dirty truth and more well, dirty.
I know it's always been around and most people still follow one, but there are millions of happy healthy and very nice atheists out there who don't need something to put their faith into.
It always just seems a little bit... Patronizing to both sides. It suggests people that follow religion do it not out of conviction or choice, but because they're intellectually or mentally incapable of getting along without it, while at the same time suggesting that a society without religion wouldn't work. And I'm not sure what exactly would go horribly (or even mildly) wrong with a society that turned away from religion completely.
I'm a mod, come to me if there's mod'n to do.
