I think that ‘religion’ in some ways can hold people away from God. The early church and also Early Celtic church attracted people towards God. It’s also obviously true that people can be content in this life without religion or indeed belief however there are two important buts:
The first is that faith is more than this life and the second is that even content people can feel an in-depth inner need to search for a spiritual wellness - some atheists describe this as in-built which of course implies design and therefore a designer ;-)
Thank you for your feedback - much appreciated ;-)
