I think we could ditch religion, but spirituality is another thing; something inherent in human beings that no doubt has some value. I think its healthy for people to explore spirituality, but much less so when some people impose their views of spirituality on others. Spirituality can come in many forms by many means, even for the atheists of the world: it's up to each of us to find our best means of connecting to things greater than ourselves.
