SPIRITUALITY IS A FORCE FOR GOOD

This letter appears in today's Leicester Mercury:
Spirituality is a force for good
I've read in Mailbox recently about the "Non-Existence of God".
Chris Lymn for instance (July 27) states that "Religions face an inevitable demise", and the "Absurdity of belief in God". How can belief in God be absurd when so many people have been saved by this belief? Some people see their faith as very special to them. The doctrine of Christ, the teachings of Buddha, the Tao of Lao Tsu etc.
These can only do good in this troubled and turbulent world, and though the latter two do not relate to a God, they are just as spiritual. Due respect though, for his views.
If given a choice between Atheism and Religion, I know which I'd choose.
