Anyone who claims that encouraging people to be good is not the purpose of religion, is hopeless. If it doesn't have that purpose then you are truly missing the point. If it doesn't have that purpose then what purpose has it? (I know, I know, there are some fabulously contrived and convoluted responses to that - but you have to memorize them by rote, as they make no sense and accomplish nothing)

gives you a little joy or excitement or awe, then you're on the right track.
