Religion is no longer needed, I admire true christians (or any other religion for that matter) that do what is expected of them by their faith. I hate the Catholics that go to church for mid night mass and never think about god until next year.
It all creates more problems than it solves, and is often something for someone to hold onto that their loved ones are being looked when they have left them.

Actually imback, my comments were about ORGANISED religion, not simply religion in general.
If you have your beliefs, and also follow the Hamlet idiom of "This above all, to thine own self be true" then you have a basis in your belief system that cannot be strengthened by organised religion.
It is only when organisation comes into the equation that you end up with the ideals and beliefs you hold dear being corrupted.
