  While much harm has indeed been done by religion and harm of the headline grabbing variety, it is therefore all too easy to overlook the good that has been done in the name of religion. Its a quiet good, it doesnt scream out in headlines. Its from the good news is no news school.
  
  What religion gave us is a blueprint for good and honest day to day living. We know its wrong to steal from our neighbour but somebody along the evolutionery line had to decide that it was indeed wrong to do so. My contention is that religion gave us these guidelines from early times. Todays society does not perhaps ponder for a second on where the rules came from or why they are there...they are just there.
  
  So to put it in Keefs terms..religion has changed owt...but its been a long slow change towards general good.
  
  Society though is now left high and dry without religion, but always needs its icons or pathfinders...now with the decline in religion our religious icons have been replaced by two-bit celebs of the Jordan variety...anyone who has seen those ads for Get CLOSER magazine will know what I mean. All aimed particularly at empty airheaded young women who idolise Posh Spice and Jordan and little else. Sad.
