The question is loaded..

Do "we" need religion?

some individuals need religion as much as air or water. They grow up with it, they feel protected by it, and they exist the way they are because of it. Others do not...

For us as a society to say we don't need religion is wrong, because we cannot make that decision for everyone. Case by case..

To re-word your question, do "you" need religion

I do not. I take my strength from myself, and I don't beleive in an omnipitant being's capricious whim folding my fate.. I can do that well enough on my own
