Since I stopped being a Roman Catholic nothing in the way of a structured religion speaks to me. I suppose I have garnered a few ideas from Christianity that are still with me as it really *is* hard to discard one´s past but nothing that would constitute a faith or an organized set of beliefs.

That's why faith is valued. it serves the ends of the rulers of the world. The faithful are easier to govern.

You can't keep politics out of it.

One only has to look at the US to see that very clearly.
