What purpose religion ,what need faith.

Only religious belief can raise man above the level of bestial vegetation.And faith contributes to the securing and ultimately the guarantee of his existence on planet earth.
Take away man's religion based dogmas and faith based moral principles
by abolishing religious education and fail to replace them with an equivalent ideology; the result will be a big shock to the foundation of human existence.
it follows that that not only does man live in order to serve higher ideals but conversely these higher ideals provide the basis and the very premise for his existence. in this way the circle closes.
