Christians - When you are thinking about how all the non-believers are condemned, do you ever stop and ask...?

hmmm... this may sound weird but I believe that no religion is wrong... Why? To borrow Emile Durkheim's idea, Religion is not only a social creation but it is in fact society divinized. Durkheim stated that the deities which men worship together are only projections of the power of society. Religion is eminently social: it occurs in a social context, and, more importantly, when humans celebrate sacred things, they unwittingly celebrate the power of their society. This power so transcends their own existence that they have to give it sacred significance in order to visualize it.
