[QUOTE]Originally posted by lamin: [QB] I look at things from a pragmatic angle. I note that the countries that care little for religion as a guiding principle for development are the ones that are most developed and perhaps the most humanistic. Examples are Sweden, Norway--the response to the killings by Breivik has been to proclaim more liberalism and to maintain the penalty of 21 years--Finland. Note too that Norway has no obligation to accept refugees, yet it does, much more so than very religious places like Saudi Arabia. Add to this that Sweden is first in the world[per capita] for support of refugees through UNHCR. On the other hand, if an individual is humanistic and does positive human-enhancing things on account of his/her beliefs then on strictly pragmatic grounds I endorse that behaviour. Buddhism and Jesuit Christianity are religions whose members often of that ilk. [/QB][/QUOTE]
