Why?  The morality/survival is PARAMOUNT to the issue of religion in
society today, since we live in a time in which religious impositional
morality is perhaps one of three or four of the most dangerous things facing
our world today.  Keep it where it should indeed be discussed, especially
with those on the religious side who see such morality as no problem.
