Then again if all religous public events were banned, who would be point and laugh at?

Religion is quite good though, I wish I was religious, I really do.
It's had terrible things done in it's name, but it has also done many wonderful things.

Some of it's principals are dated, like everything else that is at least 2000 years old, but many of them hold true today.

You don't need religion to think about doing good things.
It was invented for us to make sense of our short and crappy lives.

I may not want to die soon but when it does come then I will glady embrace the nothingness afterwards.

No, but plenty of people do.
Imagine if the various nutters around the world kept to the principals of the 10 Commandments, and they had uncorrupted religion and kept to it, masacures around the middle-east and africa probably wouldn't happen.

But those good commandments are sound philosphical tenets
They don't need to be religious to be a good idea.

'Don't kill anyone' is good secular advice - not wanting to kill anyone because you are scared of divine retribution is inherently selfish, whereas not wanting to kill anyone because it is simply a cuntish thing to do is morally superior.
