once a buddhist monks told me that religion is merely a tools for leaders and an essential and crucial building blocks of our society. Religion is the only thing that hold our conscience together. Without this conscience & compassion, we are no difference with the dog and cat on the road. And without this two building blocks, it would be a dog eat dog world out there.

I share this view too, it is a regulated source of control that serves as the cornerstone of society.
You do not kill because you are told not to, but because you do not WANT to. And by self-regulating yourself, it is a better form of control to get you fitting into modern society.

Self regulation. That's right.

Religion was once the answer to solve society's problems, but nowadays clashes between religions seem to be causing more problems. Next step foward would be to reduce the friction between religions, and prevent the use of religion to justify extremist actions.
