Religion laid foundation for the basic laws.
It was needed at one point.

That's like saying you can't have morals unless you're religious, which is complete bullstuff.

[A.R.C.]

I wasn't saying that?

Don't you know that the first American settlers (that wer'nt native american) were puratains and came to America for religeous freedom. That's what ARC means. It doesn't mean that aithests are not morally correct. (though some aren't[some non-athiests are'nt correct either])

What does that have to do with anything?

This makes less sense.

You said religion was required to lay down a set of basic laws.  Those laws had to have been founded on a basis of what is right and what is wrong, based on morals.  A legal system would have been developed without religion, you don't have to believe in God to believe something is wrong.

Don't you know that the majority of the founding fathers were atheist/agnostic?

That seems to be a common occurence with you, moppy.

People in that time period all believed in a Catholic God. They weren't persecuted for not believing in God, they were persecuted for not going to a state church.

You know this how?

Because I know how to read books.

[yndaaa]

yes.

I think there is something very powerfull in force that must have started it all to cause science to take its place. But as in the God most people presume him to be, then no, no i do not believe in that. 

Fun Fact: Buddism was started on a prince who went out and saw all the horrible things of the world,  like starving and dying people. So he then made up a silly little religion. :) SO it is fake 100% fake
