    You can still have faith and hope without religion though. I’m not religious and have faith that the good in humanity will prevail. I have hope for a better future created by humanity.

      What is “prevailing”? What is “better”? What if I disagree with you? Etc etc. There is no justification for secular “morality”. It is mob rule.

        Why would your beliefs affect my beliefs at all? I’m just showing that belief and hope are not dependent on religion.

          What beliefs? You haven’t stated, much less justified, them.

          I’m just showing that belief and hope are not dependent on religion.

          You’re showing that you can string words together to form a sentence but not much else.

      I never said that you can’t have faith or hope without religion. I’m not religious myself. But faith expresses itself differently for different people. And in the end, no one can really prove to the living that their answer to life was the truly correct one.
