Does religion make us better people?
Religion makes people behave better. Christianity asserts that people are stained by sin at birth. The Judeo Christian tradition gives us the Ten Commandments, spoken by God on Mount Sinai, as the fundamentals of moral behavior. If we reject the idea of God and religion, we reject the authority of the Ten Commandments. U.S. Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., said “Our entire system of government and belief in the rule of law is built on a foundation of religion, not irreligion.
