I am sorry, but I still don't see it.

You concede that religion isn't tied to ethics.


Then you claim that religion is necessary because of the basic yearning for answers. Everyone one asks why questions, its totally natural. Why did your cousin die? Why do bad things happen to good people? Where did everything come from? What's the meaning of life? These are living questions that everybody deals with. They are basic philosophical questions, so why not approach them philosophically? Why does there need to be an organized body attached to it?


That I guess is the question I have, that I really haven't seen anyone address and I know several people have brought it up.
