Religion is the means by which we achieve social cohesion as a society. It can be an ideology like Fascism, Communism and National Socialism, but ideologies with God have an extra sexiness because the promoter of a theocracy can give her supporters a magic invisible friend each, free, at no cost to her.
The extra sexiness is also that I, an atheist, propose to sell this idea to atheists, agnostics and monotheists and polytheists by wrapping it up in a package of low taxes, law and order through fewer laws, family values, free speech and the national interest.
