Religion is neither necessary nor sufficient to engender qualities of generosity, self-control, avoiding violence / advocating for peace, treating people well etc.
Those also aren't the types of "beliefs" I'm talking about and you know it. I specifically mentioned magical thinking and in this context "belief" is not a reference to believing in being generous, but belief in the supernatural, god, spirits, etc ... magical thinking. More to the point, believing in those, the books that espouse them, and expecting other's around you to believe / act based on those same beliefs is my problem; doubly so when preached from my elected representatives.
