The idea that moral behavior is not dependent on religion is one I fully
agree with and support. However, I seem to feel the need for moral
behavior even when not strictly in accord with the demands of reality.
Not that I always live up to it. It seemed to me that religion,
especially perhaps one like xianity which has had to compromise for
centuries just to remain relevant (at least for some) had a leavening
effect in at least some societies, perhaps including colonial america.
