The End of Faith: Religion, Terror, and the Future of Reason

I am now in full accord with Kazatzakis and Joseph Campbell we need a new religion.We have obviously been duped to some degree by the organized religions and now we stand with our world self destructing around us.I think if everyone went out and patted the earth or ocean saying hold in there
Mother Earth and she might hold up.

But why do we "need a new religion", Algis? Why do we need a religion at all? Many people see it as no more than mass superstition.
