You don't need to be religious to be civil, honest, ethical, or treat
others well. But I'm happy that most religions *seem* to preach peace, love
and tolerance. (Of course, the "tolerance" varies widely.)

Hey, George W Bush is deeply religious, but peaceful? Honest? Ethical? He
certainly doesn't believe in "love your enemies" :)
(Didn't his dad say something to the effect that atheists shouldn't be
considered patriotic citizens?)

Cheers,
