I doubt that's possible. We humans demand some form of ideology, something to believe in. If not God, or Brahman, then Communism, or the Fatherland, or "Science."

It's true that humans need some sort of guiding force or perceived force in their lives, or some abstract idea for which to strive for excellence for.

True - but religion implies a non-rational basis for belief. Or rather that you are guided by faith and belief, rather than pure reason.

I'm not suggesting that all religious people have had their reasoning faculties removed... simply that faith is a bigger component of religion than it is for a belief in humanism, for example... We know that humanism is just a theory but its one that we chose to follow because - using reason and judgement - we think it is correct..

Religions also tend to have a "reward/sanction" structure. Whether its a bevy of virgins or Satan - whereas non-religious belief structures don't have this.

There is a very real distinction between religion and idealogy/philosophy

I entirely agree, Pub.

Personally, I don't believe in liberalism, capitalism, constitutional democracy and so on - but I do think they are the best systems.
