[Knut Berg]

The title of the query, Life without a God, presuppose that religion necessarily involves something corresponding to the concept of God as you use it yourself, and ones attitude towards this, which could easily exclude a number of religious traditions of the world.As indiduals and cultures we put what is termed religion different places on our list of values.See http://www.worldvaluessurvey.org/ for some of the variations. What our species really do, to paraphrase the anthropologist Mary Douglas, is trying to make meaningful sense of the world and coordinate their lives with the people around them. Historically some of the ways one does that has been termed religious,others not, and it is quite possible to have a fullfilling life with either.
