Everyone has religion...

"Everyone has some religion, some ultimate. The religion of modern society is egalitarianism, democracy, brotherhood, society itself...being accepted, being popular, being one of the community. We still want the same thing -- respect and acceptance by others -- but we get it not by being different but by being the same.

Love fits the egalitarian religion of the world world much better than faith does, if you mean faith in the God of biblical revelation, not just faith in a vague force of your own imagination, or faith in faith."

CS Lewis in "Between Heaven and Hell" by Peter Kreeft
