Morals

One point in particular that I found interesting about this article was the argument made that when we talk about the clash between God and science, it often comes down to the difference between man and morals. Many Americans apparently face difficulties when raising their children, as they are less religiously strong than their parents. I believe this is true, and that we are steadily becoming a far more agnostic nation than that of say, 100 years ago. However, only strong moral values may encourage correct upbringing. It should be about becoming a good person; you don't always have to bring God into it.

Writer William McGurn also makes the point that it is possible to imagine a society without a strong belief in that which they cannot see or in which "one's dignity does not come from being fashioned in God's image." I do believe this is true, but if we were to have a complete absence of religion in our world, we would of course have very little to discuss.
