Utter sensationalist twaddle. 

We do not need religion in order for society to impose reasonable limits upon
personal freedom.

Secular authorities are perfectly capable and, in fact, have always been the
ones charged with enforcing laws to ensure I don't kill, rape, enslave or prey
upon others. Priests (of whatever religion) have rarely ever performed this
role. And often as not, historically and more recently, they have been the
perpetrators rather than enforcers and have justified their actions in terms of
their religion.

Almost ever sentence of your post is filled with the implicit view that you
should have the right to impose your views and opinion ("beliefs") upon others.
Hatred and intolorance for other choices that offend *your* "world view".

Your words are the very opitomy of all that is bad in reeligion. We have
nothing to discuse.
