Our moral system ie religion tells us what to believe and what we should and shouldn't do.
All religions are moral systems.
Secular political ideologies are also moral systems.
Religions last longer than secular political ideologies.
The one with the longest track record is Judaism.
Christianity and Islam are derived from Judaism.
We know Christianity is kaput because Westerners are now having an identity crisis.
The West is as Christian as a human skeleton once used to be human.
The Culture War raging across the West is between those who want to identify as liberals - mostly white middle class college-educated women who are a minority supporting uncontrolled immigration - and those who identify as nationalists - mostly plebeian men who deplore it.
No society can do without religion at least effective at maintaining minimum standards of sexual morality ie ensuring most parents in your society are married.
Hinduism and Buddhism are even more alien to Western traditions than Islam.
